Hey,
I tried adding a new identity provider (SAML 2.0) using the API - to simulate what I did using the Admin panel.
I stumbled upon the following issues:
- When setting the algorithms payload:
"algorithms": {
"request": {
"signature": {
"algorithm": "SHA-256",
"scope": "REQUEST"
}
},
"response": {
"signature": {
"algorithm": "SHA-256",
"scope": "ASSERTION"
}
}
In the documentation, it's clearly stated that "ASSERTION" is a valid response scope.
However, when making an API request, it's flagged as an invalid value. Is it a bug?
2. I looked for an API for configuring routing rules, but I didn't find any. I found this answer from 5 months ago (https://support.okta.com/help/s/question/0D54z000080r4FuCAI/okta-api-for-routing-rules-configuration-for-idp?language=en_US) - is this still the case or has that option been added since then?
3. I also looked for an API to add a new attribute for the IDP I wanted to create.
In the UI, it involved going to my new IDP -> Edit Profile and Mapping -> Add attribute.
But I didn't find any API for that, am I missing something?
4. I also didn't find an API to add attributes for users (what I would normally do using the admin UI -> Directory -> Profile Editor - > User (Default) -> Add attribute.
5. Same goes for editing a user's profile (setting the value for the attribute I wanted to add)
I'd really appreciate help as it's really important for our future projects.
Thanks!
Hi @04kzt (04kzt) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
The API is limited to the features described here:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/idps/
Functionality available in the UI is not necessarily exposed to the public API.
You can suggest Feature Enhancements on the Okta Community page by going to the Community→ Ideas tab.
