Enable and Disable Global Policies

The Policy Server User Interface allows you to enable and disable global policies. By default, when you create a global policy, the policy is enabled. When a global policy is enabled, global rules contained in the global policy fire when users attempt to access the resources specified in the global rules.

If you disable a global policy, the rules contained in the policy will not fire.

To enable or disable a global policy

1. Log into the Policy Server User Interface.
2. In the Object pane, click on the Global Policies tab.
3. Click on the Global Policies icon.
4. In the List pane, select the policy you want to enable or disable.
5. From the menu bar, select Edit, Properties of Policy.

   The Global Policy Properties dialog opens.

6. Select the Enabled check box.

   If the check box is marked with a check, the policy is enabled. If the check box is not marked with a check, the policy is disabled. If you disable a policy, the policy does not fire.

7. Click Apply to save your changes, or click OK to save your changes and return to the SiteMinder Administration window.
