# Reference

| Page                                                           | What it covers                                                                                                                                                                 |

| [API](/pam/reference/api.md)                                   | Where the API specification lives, the three ways a client authenticates, the conventions every endpoint shares, and what each endpoint family covers.                         |
| [Configuration fields](/pam/reference/configuration-fields.md) | A field-by-field lookup for the System settings area — what each setting does and the value it ships with, organised by the screen it appears on.                              |
| [Ports and protocols](/pam/reference/ports.md)                 | The default port each platform uses to reach an asset, and why the effective port is set per asset rather than globally.                                                       |
| [Supported platforms](/pam/reference/supported-platforms.md)   | A quick answer to "is my technology supported?" — the built-in platforms by category, with the non-obvious choices flagged and a pointer to the Platforms page for the detail. |
| [Compliance mappings](/pam/reference/compliance-mappings.md)   | Every control each compliance package answers, and which operational report the package embeds as the evidence for it.                                                         |
| [Glossary](/pam/reference/glossary.md)                         | Every term this documentation uses, defined as DataDike PAM uses it, with a link to the page that documents each one.                                                          |
