PATCH request for SCIM 2.0

We are sending PATCH request to a server in SCIM specification.

As per the SCIM specifications, the request should contain following attributes in PATCH request.

op
path
value

So if we are changing the 'givenName' attribute from core schema then the PATCH request will be in following way, (ref: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7644#section-3.5.2)

{
 "schemas" : ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
     "Operations":[
       {
        "op":"replace",
        "path":"name.givenName",
        "value":"Ravindra"
       }
     ]
}

Now what should be the 'path' attribute if are modifying any SCIM extension, let's say enterprise extension.

Is the following representation is correct for enterprise extension?

{
 "schemas" : ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
     "Operations":[
       {
        "op":"replace",
        "path":"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:user.department",
        "value":"Engineering"
       }
     ]
}

Solution

As in the ABNF to which scim filters should adhere (see section 3.4.2.2 of RFC 7644), when you refer to an attribute part of an extension you should do URI:attribute_path, so in your case this is "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:department"
