The Web Services PUPM SDK

The Web Services PUPM SDK lets you write Java applications that check in and check out privileged account passwords. You can use the Web Services PUPM SDK on endpoints on which CA Access Control is not installed, for example, on mainframe endpoints.

Before you can use a Web Services PUPM SDK application to check out or check in a privileged account password, you must create a user that represents the application in CA Access Control Enterprise Management and assign the user the appropriate privileged access role.

You must install the following components on the endpoint to use the Web Services PUPM SDK:

• Apache Ant 1.7
• Apache Axis 1.4
• Java SDK 1.4.2
• (Optional) An integrated development environment (IDE), for example, Eclipse

The Web Services PUPM SDK is located in the following directory:

ACServerInstallDir/IAM Suite/Access Control/tools/samples/webservice/Axis

This directory contains the following components for the Web Services PUPM SDK:

• Readme.txt—A file that contains instructions on how to configure the environment, build the Java samples, and run the Java samples.
• build.xml—The Apache Ant build script.
• build.properties—A file that sets properties in build.xml.
• CheckInPrivilegedAccount.java—A sample Java application that checks in privileged account passwords.
• CheckOutPrivilegedAccount.java—A sample Java application that checks out privileged account passwords.
• client-config.wsdd—A file that configures Axis to save all incoming and outgoing XML messages to a file named axis.log.

  Note: The directory also contains sample Java applications that let you perform other administrative tasks, for example, creating or deleting privileged accounts.
