IBM® WebSphere® Presence
Server Component provides
APIs with which you can develop customized authorization policies.
Developers can use the authorization APIs to write pluggable applications
that provide authorization information. This information either allows
or disallows subscription to a presentity.
If you implement a custom authorization application, you must:
- Add the IBMWebSpherePresenceServerAPI.jar file
to the class path. Refer to the topic Adding the API jar file
to the class path.
- Enable the externalAuthorization tag and disable
the presenceRules tag in the SystemConfiguration.xml file.
Refer to the topic Configuring authorization and authentication.
- Disable white and black lists in the SystemConfiguration.xml file
using the authorizationLists tag. Refer
to the topic Configuring authorization and authentication.
