service-id

This stanza entry defines the authorization API service for the entitlement services of the protected objects.

service-id = {short_name|path_to_dll} [ & params ...]

Define the authorization API service for the entitlement services of the protected objects. Each stanza entry defines different types of aznAPI service.

Options

Each entry has the following format:

service-id

Developer-specified ID by which the service can be identified by the aznAPI client. The service ID string must be unique.

short_name|path_to_dll

The path to the dynamic link library (DLL) containing the executable code for the service. If the DLL is in a directory that is normally searched by the system (for example, /usr/lib on AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems or the value of the PATH environment variable on Windows operating systems), do not specify the full path to the DLL, specify only the DLL name. If we want a platform-independent DLL name, so it can be loaded on any supported Security Verify Access platform, provide a short form library name. The short name is appended with known library prefixes and suffixes for each platform, and each possibility is searched in turn. For example, with a short form library name of azn_ent_user, the following names that are automatically searched for on each platform:

AIX®

libazn_ent_user.so
libazn_ent_user.a

Linux®

libazn_ent_user.so

Solaris

libazn_ent_user.so

Windows

azn_ent_user.dll

params

Optional: One or more parameters to pass to the service when it is initialized by the aznAPI service. Parameters are considered to be all data that follow the ampersand (&). The service definition is described in more detail in the IBM Security Verify Access for Web: Authorization C API Developer Reference.

Usage

Optional

Default value

There is no default value.

Example

credattrs_ent_svc = azn_ent_cred_attrs
