A.1 Deployment Steps

To deploy the identity injection Java plug-in, you must perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify the specific data requirements of your Web applications that are not supplied by the standard Access Manager services.

    You must know how to access your own data store configuration and how to obtain and extract the data your Web services require.

  2. Meet the development prerequisites.

  3. Use the sample plug-in provided in this SDK to help you better understand how to develop your own identity injection modules.

  4. Develop your identity injection Java plug-in based on the data requirements of your Web applications.

    NOTE:For this release of Novell Access Manager, the API allows you to query Username and Password in case you need to do an LDAP bind. Future versions of the API will allow you to query any attribute that Access Manager can recognize.

  5. Create an Access Manager policy to inject the data provided by your Java plug-in.

  6. Assign the policy to protect the resource that requires data injection.
