Event API Overview

The SiteMinder Event API lets you create custom event handlers.

Through the Event API, SiteMinder can log events using outside sources, providers, or applications. You can then access the logged information through these other sources, providers, or applications.

Using the Event API, you can build applications to alert administrators of SiteMinder activity. For example, an event handler can send an e-mail to the administrator when the accounting server starts or someone creates a new policy.
