The Java SAM SDK

The Java SAM SDK is a password consumer SDK that lets you write Java applications that get, check out, and check in privileged account passwords. You can use the Java SAM SDK on Windows and UNIX endpoints on which CA ControlMinder is installed. The Java application that you write must use JRE 1.5 or later.

The Java SAM SDK is located in the following directory:

ACInstallDir/SDK/JAVA

This directory contains the following:

• PupmJavaSDK.jar—The SDK library that you include in your Java application.
• CAPUPMCLientCommons.jar—A supporting library that you must include in the classpath when you run the application.
• jsafeFIPS.jar—A supporting library that you must include in the classpath when you run the application.
• CAPUPM.properties.SAMPLE—A sample file that you can edit to change the default application properties.

  If you edit this file, you must name the new file CAPUPM.properties and include the file name in the classpath when you run the application.

  Note: We recommend that you contact CA Support before you modify this file. For assistance, contact CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

• Samples—A folder that contains a sample Java application that checks out and checks in privileged account passwords.

If you want the application to log runtime events and information, you must also include a log4j library in the classpath. 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.
