Password API Plug-Ins

The Password API plug-ins can be used to integrate password functions into applications. They can be used to generate new passwords as well as notify users when their password has been changed. These interfaces are PasswordGenerator and NotifyPassword, respectively. They can be found in the com.sun.identity.password.plugins package.

The Access Manager Javadocs can be accessed from any browser by copying the complete AccessManager-base/SUNWam/docs/ directory into the AccessManager-base /SUNWam/public_html directory and pointing the browser to http:// AcceessManager-HostName.domain_name :port/docs/ index.html.

There are samples (which include sample code) for these API that can be accessed from the Access Manager installation. They are located in AccessManager-base /SUNWam/samples/console. They include:
