1.4 Using the API in the UNIX Environment

Access to the API using C in the UNIX environment is through calls to the shared library. The shared library and the C header file ascauth.h are copied to system-specific directories during the UNIX Platform Services installation process.

Access to the API using Java is through calls to the methods of class com.novell.asam.JAscAuth.JAscAuth. The jascauth.jar file is copied to the ASAM/bin/PlatformServices/PlatformClient/Java directory during Platform Services installation.

The caller must have read access to the /usr/local/ASAM/data/PlatformServices/certs directory.

For additional information about the UNIX platform, see the Platform Services Administration Guide for Linux and UNIX.
