Policy Management API

Significant changes to the Policy Management API occurred beginning with SiteMinder v4.5—for example, the introduction of the OID as an object's unique identifier, and the addition of functions such as Sm_PolicyApi_Init() and Sm_PolicyApi_Release().

Developers who continue to use Policy Management APIs from a release prior to SiteMinder v4.5 should refer to the documentation that accompanied the earlier release. Further:

• SiteMinder SDK v6.0 SP 2 and later versions do not support Policy Management APIs from releases prior to SiteMinder v5.0.
• Policy Server v5.x does not support applications built with Policy Management APIs from releases prior to SiteMinder v4.5.
