Data Access

In addition to KeyConfigure and the Web UI, there are ways to programmatically access the data managed by KeyServer.

The diagram below shows the ways in which you can view and modify KeyServer's data. The two primary user interfaces are provided by KeyConfigure and the Web UI. Using the scriptability of KeyConfigure, data objects can be manipulated with JavaScripts. This scriptability is also available in ks-jst, a stand-alone command line utility. Native drivers for the industry standard ODBC and JDBC APIs enable read-only access to all of KeyServer's data tables. A REST API is available through the Web Service.

Javascript in KeyConfigure

Custom scripts can be authored by anyone proficient with JavaScript and familiar with the scripting environment documented here.

REST API

KeyReporter provides access to data through a REST API, including creating and accessing saved Reports.

JDBC Driver

This driver gives read-only access to all data tables. The JDBC driver operates over HTTP(S), and requires the Web Service is available.

ODBC Driver

For accessing data from programs like MS Access and Crystal Reports, you can install an ODBC driver. This driver gives read-only access to all data tables, and is the most efficient mechanism for retrieving data in bulk. The ODBC driver can also be used for developing programs in C or similar languages, and is available on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
