Software Development Kit
Use the Software Development Kit so that you can create customized components such as your own obligation handler or authentication mechanism.
The Advanced Access Control Software Development Kit includes extensions that you can use to create an obligation handler or an authentication mechanism.
Use the obligation handler extension point so that obligations are handled at the policy decision point before it returns the result to the policy enforcement point application. Use the authentication mechanism extension point to create conditions that successfully authenticate a user.
Extensions that are created by using the Software Development Kit
are run in a restricted environment in to prevent accidental damage
to appliance resources. This step is done by denying access to function
calls that require certain permissions. If your implementations call
to such functions, directly or indirectly, the code execution is stopped
and an AccessControlException error is displayed.
java.io.FilePermission("<<ALL FILES>>", "read,write"));java.net.SocketPermission("", "listen"));java.lang.RuntimePermission("setSecurityManager"));
For information about creating an obligation handler or authentication mechanism, see the Developing section in developerWorks®.
For information about managing extensions in the local management interface, see Extensions.
