SDK Overview
The SDK is a tool that enables you to customize the way the HP-UX AAA Server
processes RADIUS requests. This kit is particularly useful for creating plug-ins to extend
or even replace server processes, such as how an authentication or accounting request
is handled. Using this SDK, you can create plug-ins to handle tasks such as customized
logging of accounting requests, and pre and post-authentication tasks.
Example 28-1 illustrates how to use an SDK plug-in to customize authentication and
authorization services.
