# Extended Operation Handler

*This is an abstract object type that cannot be instantiated.*

Extended Operation Handlers processes the different types of extended operations in the server.

## Extended Operation Handlers

The following Extended Operation Handlers are available:

* [Cancel Extended Operation Handler](objects-cancel-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [Get Connection ID Extended Operation Handler](objects-get-connection-id-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [Get Symmetric Key Extended Operation Handler](objects-get-symmetric-key-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [Password Modify Extended Operation Handler](objects-password-modify-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [Password Policy State Extended Operation Handler](objects-password-policy-state-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [StartTLS Extended Operation Handler](objects-start-tls-extended-operation-handler.html)

* [Who Am I Extended Operation Handler](objects-who-am-i-extended-operation-handler.html)

These Extended Operation Handlers inherit the properties described below.

## Extended Operation Handler properties

You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see [Property value substitution](expressions.html).
