Apache Syncope >= 2.0.X

Details are available in the Reference Guide.

With Apache Syncope 2.0.0, besides using curl as with earlier versions, a brand new CLI tool is available.

For more details please refer to the REST API reference, which is also available at http://localhost:9080/syncope/.

If selected for deployment, the Swagger extension is also available at http://localhost:9080/syncope/swagger/.

Apache Syncope 1.2.X

For more details please refer to the REST API reference, which is also available at http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/doc/.

Create user

curl -X POST -u admin:password -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json"\
--data @/tmp/newuser.json http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users

where /tmp/newuser.json looks like:

{ 
  "id": 0,
  "password": "password123",
  "username": "myusername@apache.org",
  "securityQuestion": null,
  "securityAnswer": null,
  "attributes": [
    { 
      "schema": "fullname",
      "readonly": false,
      "values": [
        "myusername@apache.org"
      ]
    },
    { 
      "schema": "loginDate",
      "readonly": false,
      "values": [
        "2015-11-12"
      ]
    } 
  ]
}

To link the user to an existing resource, include this in the root json hash:

  "resources": [
    "ws-target-resource-1"
  ]

You might want to add

-H "Prefer: return-no-content"

to avoid Syncope core populating the HTTP response with the created user entry.

Update user

curl -X POST -u admin:password -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json"\
--data @/tmp/updateuser.json http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users/100

where 100 is the id of the user to be deleted and /tmp/updateuser.json looks like:

{
  "id": 100,
  "username": "newUsername",
  "password": "updatedPassword",
  "attributesToRemove": [
    "surname"
  ],
  "attributesToUpdate": [
    {
      "schema": "surname",
      "valuesToBeAdded": [
        "New surname"
      ],
      "valuesToBeRemoved": []
    }
  ]
}

You might want to add

-H "Prefer: return-no-content"

to avoid Syncope core populating the HTTP response with the updated user entry.

Delete user

curl -X DELETE -u admin:password -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users/100

where 100 is the id of the user to be deleted.

You might want to add

-H "Prefer: return-no-content"

to avoid Syncope core populating the HTTP response with the deleted user entry.
