The i5/OS driver provides a comprehensive scriptable framework that you can use to add to the built-in support for the i5/OS security system, and to add support for other applications.
The i5/OS driver uses Control Language (CL) programs to implement driver functions. The scriptable framework includes components that simplify the job of extending the driver to support new applications.
Embedded Remote Loader
Full SSL support, and an installer to easily configure the certificates
Web access to debugging information from the embedded Remote Loader
Encrypted change log that stores changes from the application to the Identity Vault if there is a communication problem
Loopback detection system to prevent subscribed events from being published back to the Identity Vault
Helper programs for securely passing variables to and from the CL programs through a user space
Easily extendable connected system schema file to support any application
Include/exclude file for simplified testing and deployment by the platform administrator
Event support, both for applications that have exits or callouts, and for applications that must be polled for changes
The names of objects and attributes in the CL programs are the names specified in the connected system schema file.
The following tables describe the major CL programs.
