Introduction
Application management is a fundamental activity in systems
administration. System administrators rely on management tools,
such as the Tivolis management software, to maintain their systems
and custom applications. However, in the past, supporting user
administration and security management for custom applications was
often prohibitive because the few tools that existed required intense
customization.
The Tivoli SecureWay Application Management Toolkit allows you
to manage a custom applications user and security data on Tivoli
management agent endpoints using a graphical user interface (GUI)
or command line interface (CLI). The toolkit allows you to add, edit,
and delete application configuration data and define attribute
mappings, as well as access the toolkits populate and distribute
methods.
Features of the toolkit provide great flexibility and a wide-range of
capabilities, including:
¶ Mapping pre-existing record attribute names to
application-specific attribute names
¶ Associating an applications attribute mapping to a single profile,
or across many profiles
¶ Associating an application with only a single endpoint, or many
endpoints
