Event API Setup

Each event handler is an instance of a shared library that supports the Event API provider interface. To support custom event handlers, you must build a shared library.

Install the shared library in one of the following locations:

• On UNIX platforms, in the SiteMinder lib directory
• On Windows platforms, in the SiteMinder bin directory

The shared library must export the following entry points:

• SmEventInit()
• SmEventRecord()
• SmEventRelease()

To build an event handler, include the SmEventApi.h header file:

#include "SmEventApi.h"
