Object Creation Functions

To create a SiteMinder object, you must fill in the appropriate data structure and call the appropriate function with a properly initialized handle. If the call is successful:

• The function returns Sm_PolicyApi_Success.
• The object is added to the SiteMinder policy store.
• The pszOid field in the corresponding object structure is set to the object identifier of the object.

Object creation functions are prefixed with either Sm_PolicyApi_Add or Sm_PolicyApi_Create.
