Web API overview
With the Web Application Programming Interface (Web API), you can create, read, update, or delete a user credential if you know the ISAM ESSO password of the user.
Use the Tivoli® Federated
Identity Manager Security Token Service (STS) module or modules to
demonstrate the following operations:
- Getting a user credential.
- Getting a user credential that is updated after a specified date.
- Getting a user credential for one authentication service.
- Getting a user credential after a specified date for one authentication service.
- Setting a user credential for an authentication service.
- Deleting a user credential.
To access a web service, a request security token message is sent to Tivoli Federated Identity Manager STS through WS-Trust. The IBM® Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On Web API uses WS-Trust protocol for security token exchanges.
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager STS uses SOAP protocol and SSL security to communicate with the web service on IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On. Tivoli Federated Identity Manager STS responds with a request security token response message.
