Customizing the Policy Server

The following APIs allow you to develop custom extensions to the Policy Server:

• Authentication API
• Authorization API
• Event API
• Directory API

For example, you can create the following:

• An active policy that provides dynamic authorization based on external business logic
• An active response that returns values from external data sources
• An active rule that provides dynamic authorization based on external business logic
• A custom authentication scheme
• An event handler that captures events issued by the Policy Server,
• A user directory from data in a custom namespace
