Enable and Disable Rules

You enable a rule to ensure CA SiteMinder® protects the specified resources. You disable a rule to prevent CA SiteMinder® from protecting the specified resources.

If a rule is enabled, no one may access the protected resource(s) unless a policy that contains the rule has been created, and the user attempting to access the rule is part of a group specified in the policy. To allow access to resources before a policy is put into place, you can disable the rule.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the rule.
2. Select the Enabled check box to enable the rule; clear the Enabled check box to disable the rule.
3. Click Submit.

   The rule is saved.
