Non-Web-Based Applications

Access Manager provides the SSO API primarily for web-based applications, although it can be extended to any non-web-based applications with limitations. With non-web-based applications, you can use the API in one of two ways:

• The application has to obtain the Access Manager cookie value and pass it into the SSO client methods to get to the session token. The method used for this process is application-specific.

• Command line applications, such as amadmin, can be used. In this case, session tokens can be created to access the Directory Server directly. There is no session created, making the Access Manager access valid only within that process or VM.
