Policy Management API
The C and Perl Policy Management APIs provide new language elements in support of Federation Security Services. These include:
- C structures and Perl packages for Federation Security Services objects such as Affiliates, Service Providers, Resource/Account Partners, and Affiliate Domains. These objects are required to generate SAML assertions.
- C functions and Perl methods for SAML 1.x, SAML 2.0, and WS-Federation configuration.
- SAML 2.0 metadata constants.
- WS-Federation metadata constants.
For more information about the Policy Management API, see the SiteMinder Scripting Guide for Perl or the SiteMinder Programming Guide for C.
