Interface PumaAdminHome

Deprecated. As of release 6.1, use PumaEnvironment.runUnrestricted(java.security.PrivilegedExceptionAction) instead: For executing a Puma Query without Puma enforcing access control (thus "as admin"), wrap your code into a PrivilegedExceptionAction and then use PumaEnvironment.runUnrestricted(PrivilegedExceptionAction) to execute the the query.

public interface PumaAdminHome

This Interface can be used to access the UserManagement component of WebSphere Portal
An instance can be retrieved using a JNDI lookup for the following JNDI name portal:service/usermanagement/PumaAdmin.
The name is also available via a constant of the Interface itself PumaAdminHome.JNDI_NAME The returned instance provides a way to access the three views to the user repository
com.ibm.portal.um.PumaProfile
com.ibm.portal.um.PumaController
com.ibm.portal.um.PumaLocator

The difference between this class and PumaHome is that this class returns views to the user repository that will NOT perform any AC permission checks when the user repository is to be read or changed.
Instead, the three methods will throw a SecurityException if Java2 security is enabled (i.e. a SecurityManager is available) and the calling code does not have the following permission: AuthPermission("doAs")
By default, this class is disabled and each of the three methods will throw an IllegalStateException. It can be enabled by setting the property enablePumaAdminHome to true in PumaStoreService.properties. Refer to the WebSphere Portal Information Center - "Setting configuration properties" - for more information on how to change service properties.
The following sample shows you how to perform the JNDI lookup Either by

 Context ctx = new InitialContext();
 
 Name myjndiname = new CompositeName(PumaAdminHome.JNDI_NAME);
 
 PumaAdminHome myHome = (PumaAdminHome) ctx.lookup(myjndiname);
 

or

   String myjndiname = PumaAdminHome.JNDI_NAME;
   PumaAdminHome. myHome = (PumaAdminHome.) ctx.lookup(myjndiname);
