How the Application Management Toolkit Works Major components of the Application Management Toolkit software are shown in the following illustration. uto_skel1 user_db Toolkit DB LCFD umbo_skel1 Custom App. Enterprise Application Tivoli SecureWay User Administration’s main server process, uto_skel1, stores and retrieves toolkit configuration information from the toolkit database, and user records from the  user_db  database. When populate and distribute tasks are performed for toolkit-based applications, the endpoint process  umbo_skel1  starts up and communicates with the custom application. If the application was written in Perl, then  umbo_skel1  talks with the supplied  UaTk.pm Perl module using  STDIN  and  STDOUT. The custom application, in turn, talks directly to the enterprise application that is to be managed by User Administration. Road Map for the Application Management Toolkit In order to successfully use the Application Management Toolkit with your custom application, you must complete the tasks outlined in the following list. Each task is cross-referenced to detailed information elsewhere in this guide. 1.
