Administer users in IBM Security Verify Access for Web

The administration API provides classes and methods for creating, accessing, listing, and deleting Security Verify Access user information within the user registry. The name of a user is not case-sensitive. The following user names all refer to the same Security Verify Access user:

• user
• USER
• User
• UsEr

The PDUser.createUser method creates a user in the user registry used by the ISAM policy server. When a user definition exists in the user registry, use the PDUser.importUser method instead.

The PDUser.importUser method imports an existing user definition from our user registry into ISAM and allows the user definition to be managed by ISAM.

Use the PDUser.deleteUser method to delete a user from Security Verify Access.

Table 1 lists the user administration functions.

User registry difference: Leading and trailing blank spaces in a user name do not make the name unique when using an LDAP or Active Directory user registry. However, leading and trailing blanks do make the user name unique when using a Domino server as a user registry. To keep name processing consistent regardless of what user registry is being used, do not define user names with leading or trailing blanks.

Method	Description
PDUser.createUser	Create the specified user.
PDUser.importUser	Create an ISAM user by importing an existing user from our user registry.
PDUser.deleteUser	Delete the specified user.
PDUser.listUsers	List Security Verify Access users.

For detailed reference information about these methods, see the Javadoc HTML documentation.
