Advanced Policy Management

Policies (selang commands) you create can be stored and then deployed to your enterprise in the manner you define. Using this policy-based method, you can store policies and then assign them to hosts or group hosts. Once assigned, policies are queued for deployment. Alternatively, you can deploy and undeploy policy versions directly onto hosts or group hosts.

A central database—the Deployment Map Server (DMS)—collects all the information about your enterprise policies, versions, assignments, and deployment. Therefore, you can easily report on deployment status, deployment deviation, and deployment hierarchy.

Note: Dual control is not available with this method and is only available on UNIX. For more information, see the Endpoint Administration Guide for UNIX.
