Description

Provides the Java classes and methods necessary for performing authorization and administration functions in IBM Tivoli Access Manager (formerly known as Tivoli Policy Director).

The Java administration and authorization classes and methods are implemented completely in the Java language. The Java methods do not use the existing C APIs to perform their function.

Java Authorization

The Java authorization methods are defined in the following Java classes.

Java Administration

The Java administration classes and methods communicate directly with the policy server and provide similar function as the ivadmin_ C APIs and the pdadmin command line interface (CLI). The Java administration methods are defined in the following classes.

Java Application Configuration

Java applications that use Tivoli Access Manager security must be configured into a Tivoli Access Manager secure domain. Tivoli Access Manager provides a utility class called com.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg that can be used to accomplish the necessary configuration and unconfiguration tasks. The SvrSslCfg program provides services similar to those provided to C applications by the svrsslcfg command line interface (CLI). Only use the SvrSslCfg program for configuring a Java application. The SvrSslCfg Java configuration program is documented in the IBM Tivoli Access Manager Authorization Java Classes Developer's Reference.
