Manipulating administration objects

Each Java™ class, which represents an administration object, provides static methods to create, list, modify, and delete objects stored on the Verify Identity Access policy server.

Changes to administration objects on the policy server are immediately available to other applications.

The constructor of each class can be used to obtain a local copy of a specific administration object. You can use the class instance methods for the following purposes:
  • To retrieve data from the local object.
  • To modify both the local copy of the object and the object stored on the policy server.

Use static methods for command-line and batch-oriented applications by using the administration API. For interactive applications, use instance methods.
