How the Application Management Toolkit Works
Major components of the Application Management Toolkit software
are shown in the following illustration.

Custom
App.
Enterprise
Application
Tivoli SecureWay User Administrations 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
