Make Policy Management API Requests

After you obtain a session object and create a Policy Management API object, you are ready to make Policy Management requests. Most of the methods in the Policy Management API are categorized according to the SiteMinder object that a given method acts upon—for example, agents, policies, and rules.

There is also a Utilities category for methods that perform services, such as cache and encryption key management. Use these categories to help you find a particular Policy Management API method to use in your custom policy management applications.

Note: The methods in the policyapi package can only be called from a Siteminder administrator session.
