Custom Extensions

APS supports two different extension libraries, SmAPSEx and SmAPSLog. These libraries allow the extension of APS functionality without modifying the base APS modules.

SmAPSEx is a library that can be used to provide custom functionality for APS. It can be used to change the behavior of APS without modifying APS itself. However, SmAPSEx must be a secure module, since it can see passwords in clear text (so, for example, it can implement custom password content rules). Thus the library is not made directly available to developers outside of CA. Contact CA Professional Services for information if you think that you need a custom SmAPSEx module.

The APS Configuration File can contain settings for SmAPSEx. Any such settings are automatically passed to SmAPSEx for use by that library. See the documentation provided with your version of SmAPSEx to determine what the valid settings are if you have a copy of SmAPSEx.

[Custom]

All of the SmAPSEx settings appear in a special Custom section in the APS Configuration File. The section starts when the text [Custom] (case does not matter) appears in the file and continues until the end of the file or another section starts. All general keywords do not appear in a section and therefore must appear in the file before any sections start.

Custom logging settings appear after this keyword in the same type of format supported in the rest of the file

No custom setting support overrides.
