Hi All,

We will be providing the feature for $subject only in instances where the
user's primary email address is to be updated. When a SCIM update request
for the primary email address is performed, the email address to which the
verification email is sent is represented via the
"verificationPendingPrimaryEmail" attribute in the SCIM response body.
The mutability of "verificationPendingPrimaryEmail" attribute will be set
to *readOnly *so as to prevent direct insertion or modification of this
attribute via a SCIM request. Please note that initially this new attribute
was planned to be named as "verificationPendingEmail", however since the
above feature is only applicable for the primary email address, we have
changed the wording to "verificationPending*Primary*Email" to avoid any
confusion.

In a scenario where the update request contains claims in addition to the
email address, these other claims will be updated. The HTTP response status
code will be *200 - OK. *As discussed previously in this mail thread the
email claim will not be updated. The new email address is stored against
"verificationPendingPrimaryEmail" claim until the verification process has
been completed successfully.

Formerly it was decided that the presence of the "verifyEmail" attribute in
the SCIM request is mandatory to trigger the verification. We have
identified that then we will have the complexity of handling update
requests to SCIM /Me endpoint and /Users endpoint separately. The reason
for this is the user can update the email address directly using the /Me
endpoint without triggering an email verification if the request doesn't
contain "verifyEmail" attribute despite the feature being enabled via the
server configuration or not. To avoid this malicious behavior we have
decided that enabling this feature will solely depend on the server
configuration and we will not be checking on the availability of
"verifyEmail" attribute in the SCIM request.

Thanks,
Dewni
