Traditional Policy Management Overview

Traditional policy management using policy domains and domain objects allows you to perform manual configuration of security policies for web service resources and must be used to modify policies migrated from a previous SOA Security Manager deployment or to create policies that implement content-based authorization using variables.

The remainder of this chapter gives advice about how to best define traditional policies to protect web service resources. The following chapters describe all the policy object types and how to configure them in detail.

Important! While traditional policy management provides all the same policy objects as in previous releases, the user interface is different — you must use the Administrative UI; even if available, you must not use the Policy Server User Interface to create new or manipulate existing policies.
