Local client session

Use the instructions provided here to work with a client locally. Read the information to know about the options.

A local client session is a session established by a client which runs in the same Java™ Virtual Machine as the IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator server. Examples of such sessions are local sessions for access to the local Server API established from JavaScript code in hooks or in a Script component, from Connectors and Function Components which are executed as part of an AssemblyLine which runs in the same IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator server, and so on. When a local client establishes a local Server API session, the client has two options:

• Do not provide a username and password pair – in this case the local Server API session is established and the client is authorized as having the "admin" role. For more information about Server API roles, see Server API Authorization.
• Provide a username and password pair – in this case the Server API session is established only after the "username" supplied in the username and password pair is authorized according to the Server API Authorization logic described in the Server API Authorization section. This option would normally be used when a specific user ID is needed for authentication – for demos, prototyping, and so on.
