[aznapi-cred-modification-services] stanza

A credential modification service plug-in enables authorization API applications to do modifications on an ISAM credential.

The credentials modification service can then return this modified credential for use by the calling application. Applications can use this service to add additional information to a user's credential. For example, this additional information can include the credit card number and credit limit of the user. Each credential modification service plug-in is a stand-alone module that is dynamically loaded into the authorization service. The parameters for configuring Security Verify Access credential modification service plug-ins are declared in the [aznapi-cred-modification-services] stanza of each of the configuration files provided with ISAM:

• The ivmgrd.conf configuration file for the policy server
• The [instance-]ivacld.conf configuration file for the authorization server
• The configuration file for configured credentials modification service plug-ins for your resource managers

  The aznAPI.conf configuration file is provided with Security Verify Access as a sample file for creating our own resource manager configuration file. Developers of service plug-ins typically provide the standard functions. Before implementing service plug-ins, read and thoroughly understand the concepts in the Authorization C API Developer Reference.
