ClientsManager (OpenAM Project 16.0.0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- com.iplanet.services.cdm.ClientsManager

```
public class ClientsManager
extends Object
```
Provides common access to client data.

Client data is accessed for a particular client type. The underlying client data is stored in the profile service, but this interface should always used for accessing it (not by accessing the profile directly).
Client does not allow clients to modify the Client Data unless they have a valid user sso token. clients trying to modify Client Data should explicitly call store() to save changes into SMS. versions of the getInstance methods that accept a SSO token should be used if the client code wishes to set client data.
