Unmarshaling error in IdentityProviderApplicationUser.Profile field when calling ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers

[moemoeq]

Describe the bug?

The IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct in the Okta Go SDK v5 has an issue with the Profile field deserialization. When calling ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers, the API returns JSON with a nested object in the profile field, but the SDK fails to unmarshal it with an error:

json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field _IdentityProviderApplicationUser.profile of type map[string]interface {}

I believe the IdentityProviderApplicationUser type should be map[string]interface{} instead map[string]map[string]interface{}

https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-golang/blob/ffc6fb8734627501772eebc29797769ee2cbbb90/okta/model_identity_provider_application_user.go#L31-L40

What is expected to happen?

The SDK should correctly unmarshal the JSON response into the IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct, with the Profile field properly populated as a map[string]interface{} containing all the profile attributes from the JSON response.

What is the actual behavior?

The SDK throws a JSON unmarshaling error when processing the response: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field _IdentityProviderApplicationUser.profile of type map[string]interface{}

Reproduction Steps?

Use the Okta Go SDK v5.0.5 Create a client with proper authentication Call the following code:

func ListIdpUsers(client *okta.APIClient, idpId string) {
    ctx := context.Background()
    users, resp, err := client.IdentityProviderAPI.ListIdentityProviderApplicationUsers(ctx, idpId).Execute()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Printf("Response: %+v\n", resp)
}

Additional Information?

fix IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct like this with change related function and boom! works

type IdentityProviderApplicationUser struct {
	Created              *string                           `json:"created,omitempty"`
	ExternalId           *string                           `json:"externalId,omitempty"`
	Id                   *string                           `json:"id,omitempty"`
	LastUpdated          *string                           `json:"lastUpdated,omitempty"`
	Profile              map[string]interface{}            `json:"profile,omitempty"`
	Embedded             map[string]map[string]interface{} `json:"_embedded,omitempty"`
	Links                *LinksSelf                        `json:"_links,omitempty"`
	AdditionalProperties map[string]interface{}
}
