Hello to everyone,

Right now only one scim server/target can be configured in cas via the 
following properties

# cas.scim.version=2 
# cas.scim.target= 
# cas.scim.oauthToken= 
# cas.scim.username= 
# cas.scim.password=

Ηοwever that creates two problems.
1)  All services must use the same scim server/target
2) Data from services that we do not want to have a relationship with scim, 
are being sent
to the scim server.

In order to fix these two problems, we would like to implement  scim, 
based  on a per service configuration.

We are currently thinking two different approaches to accomplish  that.

1) add the scim properties(version,target,oauthToken,username,password)  as 
fields to  AbstractRegisteredService.java. Then, refactor the scim module 
to read the necessary scim properties to contact the scim target from the 
properties of the specific service, instead of trying to call the same scim 
target regardless of which service actually used cas.

2) change the scim cas properties to a list so multiple server/targets can 
be configured via cas. properties.
For example the scim part of cas.properties could look like that.
cas.scim[0]version=2 
cas.scim[0].target= GoogleServerHere
cas.scim[0].oauthToken= ASecretToken
cas.scim[0].username= OurCompanyUsername
cas.scim[0].password= OneCompanyPassword


cas.scim[1]version=2 
cas.scim[1].target= WebexServerHere
cas.scim[1].oauthToken= AnotherVerySecretToken
cas.scim[1].username= OurCompanyUsername
cas.scim[1].password= SecondCompanyPassword

After that add a single new field-property to 
AbstractRegisteredService.java, for example 
String ScimTargetChoice, in order to allow each service to pick whichever 
server/target ti wants, among the choices listed in cas.properties. Then 
refactor the scim module to accommodate for the changes.

We are leaning towards the second approach.
Do you find one of the approaches preferable to the other? Is there a 
better way to implement the new functionality that we haven't thought?

Best regards,
Fotis
