Active Policy Editor Dialog

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).
