Subject: [scim] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC7643 (5368)
Precedence: list

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7643,
"System for Cross-domain Identity Management: Core Schema".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5368

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Brendan McCollam <bmccollam@uchicago.edu>

Section: 8.7.1

Original Text
-------------
  {
    "id" : "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group",
    "name" : "Group",
    "description" : "Group",
    "attributes" : [
      {
        "name" : "displayName",
        "type" : "string",
        "multiValued" : false,
        "description" : "A human-readable name for the Group.
REQUIRED.",
        "required" : false,
        "caseExact" : false,
        "mutability" : "readWrite",
        "returned" : "default",
        "uniqueness" : "none"
      },

Corrected Text
--------------
  {
    "id" : "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group",
    "name" : "Group",
    "description" : "Group",
    "attributes" : [
      {
        "name" : "displayName",
        "type" : "string",
        "multiValued" : false,
        "description" : "A human-readable name for the Group.
REQUIRED.",
        "required" : true,
        "caseExact" : false,
        "mutability" : "readWrite",
        "returned" : "default",
        "uniqueness" : "none"
      },

Notes
-----
On page 68, in the JSON example schema for the Group resource, the displayName attribute is highlighted as REQUIRED in the "description" but the value of the "required" field is false. Given that section 4.2 also indicates displayName is a required attribute for Group resources, I believe the conflict in section 8.7.1 is best corrected by changing the value of the "required" attribute to true.
