Real-Time API Operations

ID Match / Matching API

Exposed by ID Match component, may be called by Registry component but is not(?) offered by Registry component. See also ID Match Strawman API

  • SORHasNewPerson
    • Used by SOR to obtain a unique person ID when SOR has a new person (ie: new SORID is assigned)

SOR Person / Write API

Exposed by Registry component

  • SORPersonRoleAdded
    • Encompasses both “person” and “role” level attributes that the SOR may assert
    • Up to the Registry to decide how to map them to its data model
  • SORtPersonRoleDeleted
  • SORPersonRoleUpdated

Person / Read API

This API is intended for tightly bound applications, such as the identity console or the Kuali apps. General application read access to identity data would typically be via LDAP or some other provisioning/integration mechanism.

  • GetPerson(SystemToSystemID)
    • Principal ID in KIM
    • Perhaps there is a need for some standardized terminology for different types of identifiers, etc
    • Pass ID+Type instead? Otherwise SystemToSystemID needs to be configured somehow before API is usable
  • GetPersonRole(s)
  • GetSORPerson (needed?)
  • GetPersonSORRole(s) (needed?)
  • MapIdentifier
  • attributes specific gets?

Questions

  1. What does response to SOR look like? ie: how does SOR get identifiers (eg: netid) and any other attributes that may be returned?
  2. Response codes for normalization/validation/standardization failure?
  3. If there is a core schema, how does that affect the API design? eg: POST /people with a bundle of attributes vs POST /people and POST /names, POST /addresses, etc (eg: COmanage REST API). Add vs Update? Both?
  4. Discussion on ids:
    1. OR, PSU, etc. have an opaque identifier stored internally for the person
    2. Crosswalk to other identifiers
    3. There should be a “system to system” id which would be the “recommended” id by which to get someone
      1. Equivalent of “principal id” in KIM and psu_id in CPR?
      2. In OR, person ID is intended to be internal to registry. Need to define an enterprise-wide system-to-system identifier to use for this purpose.
      3. What to call this id? SystemToSystemId? Principal ID? Something else?
