You can use the administrative console to delete policies
from policy sets. Deleting the policy removes the policy that further
defined the rules governing the policy set.
Before you begin
Before deleting a policy from a policy set, be sure that you
no longer want the policy to be available to the policy set. Otherwise,
consider disabling it so that it is still available to the policy
set but not currently associated with the policy set. You can disable
the policy and leave it available for the policy set by clicking the Select button
by the policy to be disabled and then clicking the Disable button.
That policy (and any configuration changes you have made to it) is
still available to the policy set but is not currently included in
the policy set.
About this task
To delete a policy from a policy set, use the administrative
console.
Procedure
- Click > policy_set_name or > policy_set_name.
The Policy set settings page displays a listing of available
policies in the Policies table of the Policy set settings page
for the policy set selected. If you created a new policy set and did
not copy and rename an existing policy set, this table might contain
no policies to delete.
- Delete the policy from the policy set.
- Click the Select box for the policy that you
want to delete in the Policies table of the Policy set settings
page.
- Click the Delete button.
- Verify that you want to delete the selected policy from
the policy set.
Results
You have deleted the policy from the policy set.
Example
If you have a policy set containing a policy that you no
longer want included in that policy set, you have two options: disable
it or delete it. In some cases, you might want to disable the policy
if you have configured attributes for it that you might want to enable
at a later time. You can disable the policy and leave it available
for the policy set by clicking the Select button by the policy
to be disabled and then clicking the Disable button. But for
this example, you have decided that the policy WS-Addressing is no
longer valid for your custom policy set ABC_ps and you and you want
to delete it. To delete it, click the Select button for the
WS-Addressing policy and then click Delete. Confirm that you
want to delete the policy.
What to do next
You can now add other policies to the policy set or enable
or disable existing policies.
