Configure an Active Policy

An active policy is used for dynamic authorization based on external business logic. An active policy is included in the authorization decision by having the Policy Server invoke a function in a customer-supplied shared library. This shared library must conform to the interface specified by the Authorization API (available separately with the Software Development Kit; if installed, see the Developer's Guide for C for more information).

To configure an Active Policy

1. Open the Policy Dialog.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Active Policy group box, click Edit.

   The Active Policy Editor opens.

4. Enter information in the dialog as described in Active Policy Editor Fields and Controls.
5. Click OK to save the Active Policy and return to the Policy Dialog.
