Configure a Policy Server Object

There are many ways to configure the various policy server objects. Later topics will discuss in detail how the objects can be configured to best serve your needs.

To configure a policy server object

1. Log into the Policy Server User Interface.
2. In the Object pane, click on the System Configuration or the Policy Domain Configuration tab.

   The tab you select depends on whether the Policy Server object must be configured by an administrator with the Manage All System and Domain Objects privilege or the Manage Domain Objects privilege.

   Note: If you login as an administrator for specific policy domains, there are no tabs to chose from in the Object pane. Instead, the available objects are simply listed in the Object pane.

3. In the selected tab, do one of the following:
   • Double click on the object type.
   • Click on an object type, then click the Create button in the tool bar.

     

   • From the menu bar, select Edit , System Configuration , <object type>.
   • Click on an object type, then from menu bar, select Edit , Create <object type>.
   • Right click on an object type and select Create <object type> from the menu.

     The dialog associated with the selected object type opens.

4. Enter appropriate information in the dialog.

   See the chapter associated with the object type for detailed information about the fields and controls contained in the dialog or click the Help button in the dialog.

   Note: The asterisk (*) and ampersand (&) characters may not be used in the Name field of any Policy Server object. These characters are invalid in object names and should be avoided.

   Note: When you create or modify a Policy Server object in the Policy Server User Interface, use ASCII characters. Object creation or modification with non-ASCII characters is not supported.

5. When you have finished configuring a new object, do one of the following:
   • Click the OK button to save the object and close the dialog.
   • Click the Apply button to save the object without closing the dialog.
   • Click the Cancel button to close the dialog without saving the object.
