Communications and Security APIs
The Communications and Security topic shows you how to use application programming interfaces (APIs)
You can use these APIs to:
- Get, use, and delete an IBM i system object. Various product APIs require a system object. It holds information about connecting to, and validating IBM i security objects including user ID, password, and signon date and time .
- Obtain information about environments and connections
that are configured in the system list when you use product
functions. The system list is a list of all currently configured environments,
and of systems within those environments. The system list is stored
and managed "per user," and is not available to other users. Note: It is not necessary for you to explicitly configure new systems to add them to the system list. They are added automatically when you connect to a new system.
