You can use the administrative console to add policies to policy
sets. Adding and configuring policies to a policy set further defines the
rules governing the policy set.
Before you begin
Before adding a policy to a policy set, check that it is not listed
as disabled in the Policies table. A disabled policy can be listed
for the policy set and only need to be enabled to be included in the policy
set. If this is the case, the policy does not need to be added and it is not
available to be added.
About this task
All policies are initially set to their default values. These values
can be edited and the attributes changed using the administrative console.
Procedure
- Click > policy_set_name or > policy_set_name.
This displays a listing of available policies in the Policies table
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 and
you must add them.
- Add a policy.
To add a policy not listed in the Policies table
of the Policy set settings page, click the Add drop down button. This
button displays a list of available policies that are not already listed in
the Policies table and therefore not included in the policy set.
- Click the policy to be added.
The selected policy is
added to the Policies table. Each policy you add has default settings
that can be modified.
Results
After you have added a policy, it is then included in the policy set.
Example
If you were working on policy set ABC_ps (that you created and it
therefore has no policies associated with it) you would click the ABC_ps name
in the Policy Sets collection and then click the Add button
in the Policies table on the Policy set settings window. The
drop down list displays all available policies for you to choose from. You
might decide you want to include the WS-Addressing and WS-Security policies
for this policy set. You would select each of those from the list. Then, click
the policy name in the table to edit the properties of these policies.
What to do next
If the modified policy set is an attached policy set, restart all
affected applications to apply the changes. If the policy set is unattached,
then no further action is required.
