Centralized management

ISAM uses two user interfaces to manage security policies and the ISAM servers.

• pdadmin command-line interface

• Web Portal Manager graphical user interface (GUI). However, some tasks cannot be done with the Web Portal Manager.
• Administration API

We can accomplish most tasks using any of these methods.

• pdadmin command-line interface
  The pdadmin command-line interface administers Security Verify Access.
• Web Portal Manager
  Web Portal Manager is an optional web-based interface for administering or performing administrative tasks with ISAM.
• Administration API
  We can use the administration API to write applications to manage users, groups, roles, permissions, policies, domains, and servers. Both C and Java™ language versions of these functions are available.
