I have received a request from one of our SPs to use CAS to modify and/or remove users from their account store upon separation from the university.

From the limited CAS SCIM documentation on GitHub, I'm not sure what capabilities CAS has for modifying the account store for a specific SP. If anyone can direct me to where I can find more information, I'd be grateful.


Thanks

Dustin,

From the docs, it sounds like CAS SCIM is only for provisioning users (with REST or groovy script). You would have to have a different system for managing users after that.

Does your university have some identity management software (i.e. midpoint or grouper)?

...or maybe Apache Syncope :blink :blink
which also features SCIM 2.0 native endpoints

Regards.

Thank you, Ray & Francesco.

Based on your replies, I surmise that CAS is not the right tool for this. We do use an IDM to sync Google Workspace accounts to AD; I'll reach out and see if the same can be done for other applications.
