Update a dynamically created users attributes if they are updated in IDP

[someswara.reddy.karem]

Hi All,

I have configured OpenAM 6.5.2.1 as a Service Provider (SP), SP initiated SSO (integrated mode) and configured Just-in-time provisioning as mentioned in the below articles, and configured the SAML2 authentication module and linked to a SAML2 chain.

https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/am/5.5/saml2-guide/index.html#saml2-integrated-mode-sso

SAML attribute Map : I configured attribute mapper as the below to map SAML attributes to local OpenDJ profile attributes.

userName=uid
firstName=cn
lastName=sn
userRole=userRole

SSO flow is working as expected and creating profile dynamically.

Issue: However OpenAM doesn’t update a dynamically created users attributes if they are updated in Identity Provider. For example, userRole will be changed time-to-time for users, however role changes will not be updated in OpenDJ.

In order to fix this issue, I created a Scripted authentication module (Script-type: Server-side authentication) to read SAML attributes and then update in OpenDJ repository. I added this module to a chain.

However, I’m unable to read SAML attributes/claim values in the Scripted authentication module using either session or sharedState.

var userRole = sharedState.get(“userRole”);
or
var userRoleFromSession = session.getProperty(“userRole”);

Can you please guide me how to read attribute/claim values from SAML assertion in Scripted module?

Thanks for your support.

Best Regards
Som
