I am exposing an application with RESTful APIs, and one interest I want to pursue is standards alignment. So therefore I am interested in SCIM for user identity functions. What confuses me is:

  • SCIM give me an interface to manage user accounts, but not the underlying implementation.
  • ASP.NET Membership gives me the implementation (i.e. the actual database where user identities and passwords will be written).

So how do the two link? i.e. I want to use SCIM, but I also want to leverage the off-the-shelf implementation that writes to the database.

It appears there is some overlap between ASP.NET Membership and SCIM.

But you have it about right.

SCIM provides an abstraction so that the underlying resource management implementation is transparent.

The underlying implementation could be LDAP or a database or any storage facility that can Create, Read, Update, and Delete the underlying Resources.
