The FIM Service Resource Endpoint implements the WS-Transfer: Identity Management Operations for Directory Access Extensions specification (WS-Transfer IMO) version of the Get operation.

Because the object to which a Get request refers is identified by a reference property that refers specifically to the object, the Get operation will only support identifying a specific object, not querying for an object. Indeed, if the operation is to be compliant with WS-Transfer and WS-Transfer IMO, it cannot support querying. Queries for objects should be directed to the Enumeration Endpoint of the FIM Service.

The default endpoint address for Get is http://Localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService/Resource.

One optional element can be included as sub-elements of the <ResourceReference> element. The <Locale> value specifies the localized representation of the object. If only one version of the object exists in the FIM Service database, the <ResourceReference> element will not contain the <Time> or <Locale> sub-elements.

Parameters

Action Header

Refer to the WS-Transfer: Identity Management Operations for Directory Access Extensions specification.

Reference Property Header

According to the WS-Transfer specification and, by implication, the WS-Transfer Extensions for Identity Management Operations specification, specific resources are identified by WS-Addressing reference properties. The WS-Addressing specification states that when a resource identified by a reference property is referred to in a request, the reference properties are just copied into the header of the request message. A sample Get message from the WS-Transfer specification is reproduced in the following example. A particular customer is identified using reference properties, shown in bold, in the header of the message.

ResourceReference Examples

ReferenceProperty Example Description

<wsa:ReferenceProperties> <rm:ResourceReferenceProperty> 03CED96B-BE01-4C18-95A5-FCD2FAA09C25 </rm:ResourceReferenceProperty> </wsa:ReferenceProperties>

The object whose Object ID is 03CED96B-BE01-4C18-95A5-FCD2FAA09C25.

<wsa:ReferenceProperties> <rm:ResourceReferenceProperty> 03CED96B-BE01-4C18-95A5-FCD2FAA09C25 </rm:ResourceReferenceProperty> <rm:Locale> en-UK </rm:Locale> </wsa:ReferenceProperties>

The object whose Object ID is 03CED96B-BE01-4C18-95A5-FCD2FAA09C25 presented in a United Kindom representation.

Type and Value Element

Get requests to the Resource endpoint of the FIM Servicemust identify the elements to be retrieved or updated. Those elements must be identified in compliance with the WS-Transfer IMO specification, and they must be identified using the Identity Attribute Type 1.0 dialect defined in the Identity Attribute Type 1.0 dialect specification.

Return Values

Action Header

Refer to the WS-Transfer IMO specification.

Resource Transfer Header

Refer to the WS-Transfer IMO specification.

GetResponse Element

Refer to the WS-Transfer IMO specification.
