API Service (idapi)
The API Service (idapi) enables client programs to access Bravura Security Fabric workflow and provisioning features programmatically. Client programs communicate with the service using:
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Some organizations use the SOAP API to build their own customized front-end to Bravura Security Fabric .
PSLang functions
Bravura Security Fabric plugins can use PSLang to retrieve additional information about users, resources, and requests from the API Service.
Refer to the Bravura Security Fabric Remote API (api.pdf) to learn about the Bravura Security Fabric API, and how to install and use the SOAP API. Refer to the PSLang Manual (pslang.pdf) for more information about PSLang.
