Duplicate Policy Server Objects

The easiest way to create a new Policy Server object is to copy an existing object and modify its properties. You can use the properties of the existing object as a template, only changing the information that is different for the new object.

Note: The copy option is not available for the following objects:

• Agent Type
• AuthAz Directory Mapping
• AuthValidate Directory Mapping
• Certificate Mapping
• User Directory
• Application
• Application Resource
• Domain
• Policy
• Realm
• Response
• Response Attribute
• Rule
• Global Policy
• Global Response
• Global Rule
• Password Policy
• Administrator

Note: Your administrative privileges determine the objects you can access.

To create a new object by copying and modifying an existing object

1. Click <tab>, <Policy Server category>.

   Example: Click Infrastructure, Agent.

2. Click <Policy Server object>, Create <Policy Server object>.

   The Create Object pane opens.

   Example:

   Click Agent, Create Agent.

3. Select Create a copy of an object, specify search criteria, and click Search.

   A list of objects that match the search criteria opens.

4. Select an object from the list, and click OK.

   The Create Object: Name pane opens.

5. Type a new name and description in the fields on the General group box.
6. Modify the properties that are different for the new object, and click Submit.

   The Create Object task is submitted for processing.
