Administering user information

Edit online

The administration API allows you to administer the information associated with a Verify Identity Access user.

When a user account has been created in the user registry, you can set and get various information about the user. You must create a security context between the calling application and the Verify Identity Access policy server before you can access the user registry. You can obtain the user registry information for a user object by specifying either the Verify Identity Access user name or the user registry name.

Table 1 lists the methods available for administering user information.
