After you obtain a connection to the Policy Server, get a user or administrator session.
Note: To use the Policy Management API, you must connect as a SiteMinder Administrator.
After you obtain a session object, pass it to the Policy Management API or the DMS API through the constructor for the SmPolicyApiImpl class, or the SmDmsApiImpl class.
To obtain a session, perform one of these actions:
|
If... |
And... |
Then... |
|---|---|---|
|
You have an existing session from authenticating a user. |
— |
Pass in the session specification for the authenticated user. |
|
You do not have an existing session. |
You must connect as a SiteMinder Administrator. |
Use the method SmApiSession.login(). |
|
You do not have an existing session. |
You want to connect as a non-Administrator. |
Use the Java Agent API to obtain a session specification for the user. |
If you have a session specification for a user that has been authenticated, you can use that session specification. You need not obtain a new session specification.
To use an existing session, create an SmApiSession object and associate the session specification with that object.
