Published Custom Modules Information

Custom modules are DLLs or libraries that can be create to extend functionality of an existing Policy Server. These come in several types: event handlers, authentication modules, authorization modules, directory modules, and tunneling modules. Authentication modules are generally referred to as custom Authentication schemes and the Authorization modules are known as Active Policies. Tunnel modules are used to define a secure communication with an Agent. Event modules provide a mechanism for receiving event notifications. Information about which custom modules have been loaded by a Policy Server can be published. Each type of custom module is defined in its own XML Tag
