Initialize CA EEM C++ SDK

Configure CA EEM SDK using the Safe::Configurator class.

Note: Configure the eiam.config before you configure CA EEM SDK. If you do not configure the eiam.config file, the CA EEM SDK is initialized with the following default configuration:

• non-FIPS mode
• Logging is set to error and only console logging is enabled
• SAF location is disabled
• CyclicBuffer is set to True

To initialize CA EEM SDK, perform the following process:

1. Include the following API in your code to initialize CA EEM SDK during application startup:

   Safe::Configurator::getInstance()->init(filename);
   

   Where

   filename

   Specifies the absolute path of the eiam.config file that you have defined for your application.

   Note: If you do not mention the filename, CA EEM SDK is initialized with the default values.

2. Include the following API in your code during shutdown of your application:

   Safe::Configurator::getInstance()->term();
   

   Note: For more information about the SafeConfigurator class, see the Programming Guide.

Important! If there are any invalid attributes in the eiam.config file, the CA EEM SDK aborts.
