[aznapi-cred-modification-services] stanza

A credential modification service plug-in enables authorization API applications to do modifications on a Security Verify Access credential.

The credentials modification service can then return this modified credential for use by the calling application. Applications can use this service to add additional information to a user's credential. For example, this additional information can include the credit card number and credit limit of the user. Each credential modification service plug-in is a stand-alone module that is dynamically loaded into the authorization service.

The parameters for configuring Security Verify Access credential modification service plug-ins are declared in the [aznapi-cred-modification-services] stanza of each of the configuration files provided with Security Verify Access:
  • The ivmgrd.conf configuration file for the policy server
  • The [instance-]ivacld.conf configuration file for the authorization server
  • The configuration file for configured credentials modification service plug-ins for your resource managers

    The aznAPI.conf configuration file is provided with Security Verify Access as a sample file for creating your own resource manager configuration file. Developers of service plug-ins typically provide the standard functions. Before you implement service plug-ins, read and thoroughly understand the concepts in the Authorization C API Developer Reference.
