Table 7. Member methods of the IAccessEngine interface
Method Description Page
IgetInterchangeAccessSession() Creates an access session to InterChange Server Express for the access client. IgetInterchangeAccessSession()
IcloseSession() Closes the access session with InterChange Server Express. IcloseSession()
login() Login to the session login()
logout() Logout of the session logout()
securelogin() Secure login to the session securelogin()
encryptedlogin() Login to the session when LDAP is the user registry (internal API) encryptedlogin()

Methods IgetInterchangeAccessSession() and IcloseSession() are deprecated in the 4.3 release. They are replaced by the login() and logout() methods, which offer greater security. The deprecated methods are still supported, but it is recommended that you avoid their use and migrate existing codes to the new methods. The deprecated methods might be removed in a future release.

Note:
Both of the deprecated methods have been modified to call, in turn, their replacement methods. However, completely migrating to the new methods provides the advantage of encryption of the user and password data.
