CMS SDK

CMS Software Development Kit (SDK) includes information that's useful for
developing new plug-in modules and for customizing various aspects of
Certificate Management System. During installation, files for CMS SDK are copied
to this directory:
<server_root>/cms_sdk/
Below is an overview of what's contained in the above directory:
• CMS JDK, which includes Javadocs, Samples, and Tutorials for developing
Java plug-ins:
Javadocs—complete javadoc specification of the CMS Application
Programming Interface (API).
Samples—sample source code of various plug-in modules that are included in
Certificate Management System out-of-the-box. This source code has been
included for reference purposes only, and is only used to demonstrate how a
particular CMS feature was implemented. Since a sample represents the actual
code currently present in Certificate Management System, it does not require
to be recompiled. You will find examples for the authentication, jobs, listeners,
mappers, passwords, policies, publishers, and servlets modules.
Tutorials—"How To" tutorial to help demonstrate how you can create your
own plug-in modules for Certificate Management System. Each tutorial
includes sample Java source code, environment and build scripts for both
UNIX and Windows NT, and a detailed "cookbook" describing how to build
and install these plug-in modules. Additionally, if necessary, some tutorials
may also contain sample configuration files. A tutorial has been included for
authentication, job, listener, mapper, password, policy, publisher, and servlet
modules.
• White papers about HTTP-related abilities of Certificate Management System
including "How to add extra parameters to request from the Manual approval
page" and "The CMS 6.x Bulk Generation Interface Specification."
