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
5.3 also 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
