Edit the proxyrules.xml File

To edit the proxy rules, edit the proxy rules XML configuration file using a text editor. Verify that the proxy rules configuration file must be well-formed and valid, and that the tags in a well-formed XML file must all consist of opening and closing tags. To be valid, the file must adhere to the guidelines laid out in the proxyrules.dtd.

Changes to the proxy rules XML configuration file are picked up automatically by the CA SiteMinder® SPS. When the CA SiteMinder® SPS receives a request, it checks whether or not the proxy rules have changed. If the file has changed, the rules are reloaded before fulfilling the request.
