Microsoft Entra ID SCIM Validator test failing PATCH update userName

Question

Microsoft Entra ID SCIM Validator test failing PATCH update userName

Jason Gillett 35

I'm using the validator at https://scimvalidator.microsoft.com/. I'm passing 17 and failing 4.
One of the failing tests is: PATCH /Users/Id - Update User userName
Error Details: The value of userName is Missing from the fetched Resource

Initial Resource Creation Request:

{
  "active": true,
  "displayName": "VYREBLPFZCNR",
  "emails": [
    {
      "type": "work",
      "value": "******@schimmel.us"
    }
  ],
  "externalId": "9ee683d1-34a9-48f9-a4b2-bde1f1c0b749",
  "name": {
    "formatted": "Boris",
    "familyName": "Leann",
    "givenName": "Madie"
  },
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
  ],
  "userName": "******@kilback.com"
}

HTTP Request:

{
  "Operations": [
    {
      "op": "replace",
      "value": {
        "userName": "******@emmerichrowe.ca"
      }
    }
  ],
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"
  ]
}

Response Body:

{
  "active": true,
  "addresses": null,
  "displayName": "VYREBLPFZCNR",
  "emails": [
    {
      "value": "******@schimmel.us",
      "type": "work",
      "primary": true
    }
  ],
  "externalId": "9ee683d1-34a9-48f9-a4b2-bde1f1c0b749",
  "id": "2522",
  "meta": {
    "resourceType": "User",
    "created": "2025-03-13T15:29:00",
    "lastModified": "2025-03-13T15:29:00",
    "version": null,
    "location": null
  },
  "name": {
    "formatted": "Boris",
    "familyName": "Leann",
    "givenName": "Madie",
    "middleName": null,
    "honorificPrefix": "",
    "honorificSuffix": null
  },
  "phoneNumbers": [],
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
  ],
  "userName": "******@emmerichrowe.ca"
}

The userName was updated; however the validator does not seem to recognize that the userName was updated.

Hi Jason,

This looks like a bug in the SCIM Validator, I've seen a few other reports of similar issues. I've asked a dev to look into it. For now, I'd recommend ignoring the failure reported by that test.

Is there anywhere I can track to see if this is an accepted bug and whether or not it has been fixed? Also, is this the best place to submit this kind of defect, or is there somewhere else I can submit them?

Hello Jason or shall we call you JSON?

Interesting results. I believe your JSON request is incorrect. Schema should look this way:

{
    "schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
    "Operations": [{
        "op": "Replace",
        "path": "userName",
        "value": "******@testuser.com"
    }]
}

Patch Operations should refer to:

"urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"

Hope this helps!

The request is coming from the Microsoft Validator, so that's not something I can control. The data gets updated based on the request, so that does not seem to be an issue. The issue is that the validator does not seem to recognize the update occurred.
