SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC)
- Setting up the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller
  To set up the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC), you must download the setup wizard, install the SOTI Snap DAC, and then access it from your local machine using a web browser.
- Creating a New Service for SOTI Snap Data Access Controller
  Create a RESTful API service by connecting to an existing database. SOTI Snap applications can then perform create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations on database table data using the API.
- Importing an SSL Certificate for SOTI Snap Data Access Controller
  By default, the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC) uses an insecure HTTP connection between the SOTI Snap application and its DAC endpoints. This sends plain text messages that are vulnerable to threats. You can upload an SSL certificate to use the more secure HTTPS protocol for an added layer of encryption and verification.
- Viewing the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller Request History
  View the history of your SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC) console operations and incoming API requests by navigating to the Request History tab. The Request History shows the most recent 100,000 requests. You can select Remove Request History to delete the entire request history.
- Constructing an API URL for the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller
  Use the API Docs tab to view the API documentation and construct client URL (cURL) requests to access API endpoints for your SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC) services. You can also use the Construct URL tool to have the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller construct cURL requests.
- Managing SOTI Snap Data Access Controller Settings
  Customize settings of your SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC).
- Connecting SOTI Snap Apps to the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller Service
  After app_user/creating_a_new_service.html, you can customize your SOTI Snap application to connect to the SOTI Snap Data Access Controller (DAC) service. SOTI Snap applications can access the SOTI Snap DAC service by making HTTP requests using the following SOTI Snap tools:
