The online version of One Identity Manager documentation is available in the Support portal under Technical Documentation. You will find videos with additional information at www.YouTube.com/OneIdentity.
Basic principles of API development
HTML applications use the API Client to communicate with the One Identity Manager API. The API Client controls all network access on the API Server.
The most important components for developing your own APIs are:
-
API projects: An API project represents the actual application and provides API methods. Various API projects are supplied with One Identity Manager On Demand (Starling Edition), for example the Web Portal (portal).
-
API plug-ins: An API plug-in serves as a container for custom extensions. With an API plug-in, you can deploy your own API projects and/or add more API methods to existing API projects.
-
API Provider: An API provider is a single class in a DLL file that declares API methods.
