Write your own UIs using the ID Mgmt REST API
With SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.2 it is possible to use an application programming interface (API), in order to develop custom user interfaces (UI) for special end user scenarios.
This API uses web standards like REST (Representational State Transfer) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
With this API you can make use of many different programming languages, which are able to use RESTful web services, like C#, Java, JavaScript, etc.
- Code examples can be found in the Code Gallery: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/SAP+NW+ID+Mgmt+7.2+REST+API+Examples
- An interface description can be found in the documentation area:
https://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-26747
- Here you can view a video demonstrating a custom role request UI:

Where can we download the API?
I will search in the installation packages.
How can I retrieve REST API webservices schema (XSD file for example?) in order to intergrate these webservices in a third party application?
thanks for your help,
Ben
unfortunately, no schema is available therefore.

does the REST api supports SAML?
Thanks.
this depends on the AS Java used. SAML 1.1 Browser Artefact is supported on AS Java 7.0x, SAML 2.0 on AS Java 7.2.
Cheers, Jannis
