The .NET SAM SDK

Valid on Windows

The .NET SAM SDK is a password consumer SDK that lets you write C# applications that get, check out, and check in privileged account passwords. You can use the .NET SAM SDK only on Windows endpoints where CA ControlMinder is installed, although you can get, check out, and check in passwords for privileged accounts that reside on any operating system. You must install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later on the endpoint to use the .NET SAM SDK.

The .NET SAM SDK is located in the following directory:

ACInstallDir\SDK\DOTNET

This directory contains the following:

• Pupmcsharpsdk.dll—The SDK library that you include in your C# application.
• Examples—A folder that contains sample applications that check out and check in privileged account passwords.

  Each sample application contains an uncompiled sample (.cs file) and a compiled sample (.exe file).

You must create a Software Development Kit (SDK/CLI) password consumer for the application in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management before it can get, check out, and check in privileged account passwords.
