Realms

When working with the Parallels Agent API, you'll see a parameter named realm in the user authentication and authorization related calls. A Realm represents an authentication database. It's a definition that consists of the database name, the connection parameters, and the database ID, which is called Realm ID. Realm definitions are stored in the Agent configuration on the Hardware Node. Before you can use an authentication database, it must be defined as a Realm in the Agent configuration. At least two Realm definitions are created at the time the Agent software is installed: the System Realm and the Internal Realm. If you are planning on using an external LDAP directory as your user database, you will have to create a Realm representing it first. For more info and examples, please see the Login and Session Management section.
