LifeKeeper API
This will show the entire man/help page for the command.
LifeKeeper API
The LifeKeeper API is used to allow communications between LifeKeeper servers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently, this API is reserved for internal use only but may be opened
up to customer and third party usage in a future release.
Network Configuration
Each LifeKeeper server provides the API via an SSL Connection on port 778. This port may be
changed using the configuration variable API_SSL_PORT in /etc/default/LifeKeeper.
Authentication
The LifeKeeper API uses PAM for authentication. Access to the API is only granted to users that are
members of the group lkadmin, lkoperor lkguest. Depending on the PAM configuration of the
system, this can be accomplished by using the local system files (i.e. /etc/passwd and /etc/group )
or by including the user in an LDAP or Active Directory group.
Note: The LifeKeeper API does not use the user database that is managed by the lkpasswd utility.
