Policy Management API

The C and Perl Policy Management APIs provide new language elements in support of SOA Security Manager federation. These new language elements include:

• C structures and Perl packages for federation objects such as affiliate domains, Affiliates, Identity and Service providers, Resource and Account Partners.
• C functions and Perl methods for SAML 1.x, SAML 2.0, and WS-Federation configuration.
• SAML 2.0 metadata constants.
• WS-Federation metadata constants.

For more information about the Policy Management API, see the SiteMinder Scripting Guide for Perl or the SOA Security Manager Programming Guide for C.
