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 18 illustrates how to use an SDK plug-in to customize authentication and authorization
services.
