[Blog Post] Adding users to WSO2 Identity Server through SCIM end points when the primary user store is OpenLDAP

Consider a scenario where OpenLDAP is used as the primary user store of WSO2 Identity Server.

Note: The above-mentioned configuration is for WSO2 Identity Server 4.5.0

In this case if user provisioning is done through SCIM without any claim mappings, you'll observe below result.

To avoid this, have to map SCIM claims to attributes in OpenLDAP. More details can be found in this blog post written by Suresh.

Note: Same claim mapping can be done for OpenLDAP
