PATCH /Groups for AzureAD SCIM synchronization fails

Im currently trying to implement the SCIM protocol for synchronizing Users & Groups from AzureAD into my application.

For development I use a MS tutorial and the RFC for SCIM:

For validation of my endpoints I use Microsofts AzureAD SCIM Validator: https://scimvalidator.microsoft.com/

Running the validation I only get one error message: https://i.sstatic.net/Ru5KU.png

The belonging Group was created by SCIM Validator using the following request:

POST /scim/Groups 1.1
Host: ngrok-free.app
Content-Type: application/scim+json; charset=utf-8
{
  "displayName": "3TCVOGSGK5K3",
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group"
  ]
}

The PATCH request in question is

PATCH /scim/Groups/66f04454-be03-446b-885b-dad2f37568f9 1.1
Host: ngrok-free.app
Content-Type: application/scim+json; charset=utf-8
{
  "Operations": [
    {
      "op": "replace",
      "path": "members[type eq \"untyped\"].value",
      "value": "P781Y6CGE6C6"
    },
    {
      "op": "replace",
      "value": {
        "displayName": "BXCXL6SD5JFM"
      }
    }
  ],
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"
  ]
}

Which gets the following response by my endpoint

Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, max-age=0
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2023 17:51:30 GMT
Pragma: no-cache

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-XSS-Protection: 0
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/scim+json
Expires: 0

{
  "displayName": "BXCXL6SD5JFM",
  "id": "66f04454-be03-446b-885b-dad2f37568f9",
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group"
  ]
}

What I do when recieving the request is replacing all members of the group with the one mentioned in the value ("P781Y6CGE6C6").

I dont know what the wanted behavior is for this request - maybe anyone understands it better and can explain it to me?

Best Regards

Did you manually add the expression to the group resource's members attribute? Azure AD's SCIM implementation does not utilize the type sub-attribute on the members attribute.

Azure AD's SCIM implementation shouldn't call replace on the members attribute for groups, and I suspect that the reason it is doing so in this case is because you have edited the attribute path to members[type eq "untyped"].value. Try reverting back to the default set of attributes for groups in the SCIM validator. Having just looked at the SCIM validator while writing this, I only see displayName and externalId listed in the attribute list for the Group resource. Despite members not being listed there, I believe it is still tested.
