Security Data Manager

The Security Service comes with a Security Data Manager to administer the authorization data for the default transaction authorization provider.

As mentioned earlier, the default transaction authorization provider performs the authorization check against a relational database, and the Security Data Manager provides services to manage the data in these database tables. For more information on the table structure, see Default transaction authorization provider.

The Security Data Manager consists of a server-side component, which provides the API for data management as well as a web-based administration GUI. Some of the services provided by this manager include:

• Add or update a user profile
• Add or update a group profile
• Add a transaction authorization for a user
• Add a transaction authorization for a group

This interface should be used to add or update authorization data for all out of the box as well as client specific extended transactions. These transactions must first be registered in the CDBUSINESSTXNTP database table. Such extended transactions must be given a primary key greater than 1,000,000. All values less than 1,000,000 are reserved for InfoSphere® MDM provided transactions.

To retrieve authorization information from the transaction authorization provider during run time, see User management run time API configuration.
