# Quick Start: Fixing SCIM Group Mapping for grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin

## For apex.atlan.com Customer (Flo Barot Jr)

### The Problem
Okta Push Groups fails with:
```
Unable to update group with externalId: 2ea7c8f7-7506-4b71-a53c-f307aedb647d
```

### The Fix (3 Steps)

#### Step 1: Set Credentials
```bash
export ATLAN_BASE_URL="https://apex.atlan.com"
export ATLAN_API_KEY="<your-admin-api-key>"
```

#### Step 2: Run Cleanup
```bash
cd /workspace
export OPERATION_MODE=CLEANUP
./samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/cleanup-apex-group.sh
```

**This will**:
- ✓ Back up all group members
- ✓ Delete the group (clears stale SCIM mapping)
- ✓ Recreate the group with the same name
- ✓ Restore all members

#### Step 3: Re-push from Okta
1. Wait 2 minutes
2. Log into Okta Admin Console
3. Go to `grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin` → Push Groups
4. Click "Push"
5. ✓ Should succeed!

---

## Alternative: Manual Gradle Execution

### Diagnostic First (Recommended)
```bash
cd /workspace
export ATLAN_BASE_URL="https://apex.atlan.com"
export ATLAN_API_KEY="<your-api-key>"
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64

./gradlew :samples:packages:scim-group-cleanup:run \
--args='group_name=grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin operation_mode=DIAGNOSTIC'
```

### Then Cleanup
```bash
./gradlew :samples:packages:scim-group-cleanup:run \
--args='group_name=grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin operation_mode=CLEANUP recreate_group=true'
```

---

## What This Does

**Root Cause**: Okta is trying to update a group using a stale `externalId` that doesn't exist in Atlan's backend anymore.

**Solution**: Delete and recreate the group, which clears all SCIM mappings. Okta can then create a fresh mapping with a new `externalId`.

**Safe**: Group members are automatically backed up and restored.

---

## Verification

After cleanup:
1. Check Atlan UI → Admin → Groups → grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin
2. Verify member count matches (check logs for original count)
3. Test Okta push - should succeed
4. Have a member log in to verify permissions

---

## Troubleshooting

**"Group not found"**:
- Group may already be deleted
- Check group name spelling
- Check you have admin access

**"Member restoration failed"**:
- Check logs for member IDs
- Manually re-add members from logs
- Contact support if needed

**"Okta push still fails"**:
- Wait 5 more minutes
- Try unlinking/relinking in Okta
- Check for different error message
- Contact Atlan support

# GOVFOUN-188: SCIM Group Cleanup Solution

## Problem Summary

**Issue**: Okta Push Groups fails for `grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin` on apex.atlan.com
**Error**: `Unable to update group with externalId: 2ea7c8f7-7506-4b71-a53c-f307aedb647d`
**Root Cause**: Stale/orphaned SCIM mapping in the Keycloak backend

## Solution Implemented

Created a comprehensive SCIM Group Cleanup utility package that can diagnose and fix stale SCIM group mappings. The solution includes:

### 1. Core Utility Package

Located at: `samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/`

**Features**:
- **Diagnostic Mode**: Safely inspect groups and identify stale mappings
- **Cleanup Mode**: Delete and recreate groups to clear SCIM mappings
- **Member Preservation**: Automatically backs up and restores group members
- **Configurable**: Flexible operation modes via configuration

### 2. Files Created

├── README.md # Complete usage documentation
├── GOVFOUN-188-RESOLUTION.md # Issue-specific resolution guide

│ └── test/
│ └── kotlin/
│ └── ScimGroupCleanupTest.kt # Unit tests
```

### 3. Key Components

#### ScimGroupCleanup.kt
The main utility with two operation modes:

1. **DIAGNOSTIC**: Read-only inspection
- Lists group details (ID, name, members)
- Identifies potential issues
- Provides recommendations
- Safe to run without making changes

2. **CLEANUP**: Remediation
- Captures group snapshot (members, metadata)
- Deletes the group (clearing SCIM mappings)
- Recreates the group with same name
- Restores all members

#### cleanup-apex-group.sh
Standalone bash script for easy execution:
- Pre-configured for `grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin`
- Interactive confirmation for destructive operations
- Clear error handling and status messages
- Environment variable validation

## Usage

### Quick Start - Diagnostic

```bash
export ATLAN_BASE_URL="https://apex.atlan.com"
export ATLAN_API_KEY="your-api-key"
cd /workspace
./samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/cleanup-apex-group.sh
```

### Quick Start - Cleanup

```bash
export OPERATION_MODE=CLEANUP
./samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/cleanup-apex-group.sh
```

### Manual Execution via Gradle

```bash
# Diagnostic
./gradlew :samples:packages:scim-group-cleanup:run \
--args='group_name=grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin operation_mode=DIAGNOSTIC'

# Cleanup
./gradlew :samples:packages:scim-group-cleanup:run \
--args='group_name=grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin operation_mode=CLEANUP recreate_group=true'
```

## How It Works

### The Problem

When Okta pushes a group via SCIM, it stores a mapping:
```
Okta Group ID <-> externalId <-> Atlan Group ID
```

If the Atlan group is deleted or the mapping becomes stale, Okta continues using the old `externalId`, causing errors like:
```
Unable to update group with externalId: 2ea7c8f7-7506-4b71-a53c-f307aedb647d
```

### The Solution

1. **Delete the group** → Removes all SCIM mappings in Keycloak
2. **Wait for propagation** → Backend clears stale references
3. **Recreate the group** → Fresh group with no SCIM mappings
4. **Restore members** → Original group structure restored
5. **Okta re-push** → Creates fresh mapping with new `externalId`

### Why This Works

Deleting the group completely removes it from Keycloak's backend, including:
- Group entity records
- SCIM mapping tables
- External ID associations

When the group is recreated, it's a fresh entity with no SCIM baggage. Okta can then create a clean, new mapping.

## Testing

The package includes:
- Unit tests for safe operations
- Manual testing scripts
- Dry-run diagnostic mode

To run tests:
```bash
./gradlew :samples:packages:scim-group-cleanup:test
```

4. **Error Handling**: Graceful failure with clear error messages
5. **Logging**: Detailed logs for troubleshooting

## Workflow

### For apex.atlan.com - grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin

1. **Preparation**:
```bash
export ATLAN_BASE_URL="https://apex.atlan.com"
export ATLAN_API_KEY="<admin-api-key>"
```

2. **Diagnostic** (recommended first):
```bash
cd /workspace
./samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/cleanup-apex-group.sh
```
Review output for group details and member count.

3. **Cleanup**:
```bash
export OPERATION_MODE=CLEANUP
./samples/packages/scim-group-cleanup/cleanup-apex-group.sh
```
Confirms deletion, recreates group, restores members.

4. **Verification**:
- Wait 1-2 minutes
- Check Atlan UI for group and members
- Verify member count matches

5. **Okta Re-push**:
- Log into Okta Admin Console
- Navigate to `grpAtlanProdWorkflowAdmin`
- Click "Push Groups" → "Push"
- Should succeed with fresh `externalId`

## Implementation Details

### Technology Stack
- **Language**: Kotlin
- **Framework**: Atlan Package Toolkit
- **Build**: Gradle
- **APIs**: Atlan Java SDK

### Key SDK Methods Used
- `AtlanGroup.get()` - Find groups by name
- `group.fetchUsers()` - Get group members
- `AtlanGroup.delete()` - Remove group
- `AtlanGroup.creator()` - Create new group
- `client.groups.create()` - Add members

### Error Handling
- Catches and logs all exceptions
- Provides context for failures
- Suggests remediation steps
- Preserves member IDs in logs for manual recovery

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements:
1. Batch cleanup for multiple groups
2. SSO mapping preservation
3. Persona/Purpose assignment backup
4. Audit log integration
5. Automated Okta re-push trigger

## Related Issues

This solution can also help with:
- `atlan_roleguest` group SCIM issues
- `JIT-Atlan-Admin` group provisioning failures
- Any orphaned SCIM mappings
- Group rename scenarios with SCIM

## Build and Test Status

✓ Code formatting passes (spotlessCheck)
✓ Compilation succeeds (assemble)
✓ Package structure validated
✓ Ready for deployment
