ACS Programmatic Interfaces

ACS 5.3 provides web services and command-line interface (CLI) commands that allow software developers and system integrators to programmatically access some ACS features and functions. ACS

5.3also provides you access to the Monitoring & Report Viewer database that you can use to create custom applications to monitor and troubleshoot ACS.

The UCP web service allows users, defined in the ACS internal database, to first authenticate and then change their own password. ACS exposes the UCP web service to allow you to create custom web-based applications that you can deploy in your enterprise.

The Monitoring & Report Viewer web services allow you to create custom applications to track and troubleshoot events in ACS.

You can develop shell scripts using the CLI commands that ACS offers to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on ACS objects. You can also create an automated shell script to perform bulk operations.

The REST PI (Representational State Transfer Programming Interface) allows you to manage your entities such as users, devices and policies on your own management applications and move these entities into ACS. This way you can define these entities and then use them on your own systems and on ACS.

For more information on how to access these web services and their functionalities, see
