VMS Program Exits

Program Exits (Common or Native) let you write software that executes during certain actions that CA Identity Manager carries out. Program exits extend the framework of CA Identity Manager and permit additional functionality that can change or augment the standard CA Identity Manager behaviors.

The OpenVMS Connector supports the use of Program Exits, which are incorporated as 'Common Exits'. Program Exits provide you with the capability to perform certain actions before or after CA Identity Manager creates, modifies, or deletes an account. These exits can be referenced either on the Endpoint property sheet to execute custom code in a single endpoint, or on the Account Template property page to execute custom code in multiple endpoints. Actions can include native SI (Security Integrator) commands that modify account privileges or access to resources on the OpenVMS system.

For more detailed information about how to write program exits, see the Programming Guide for Provisioning. If you want further information on using SI commands, see the SI SDK.
