System policy set settings
Use this panel to create a new system policy set or to edit information about an existing custom system policy set. System policy sets, or assertions about how services are defined, are used to configure access to the trust service.
To view this administrative console page, complete one of the following procedures:
- Services > Policy sets > System policy sets > policyset_name
- Services > Policy sets > System policy sets > New
Depending on your assigned security role when security is enabled, you might not have access to text entry fields or buttons to create or edit configuration data. Review the administrative roles documentation to learn more about the valid roles for the application server.
We can edit the fields on this page only if the policy set is a custom trust policy set. We cannot edit default trust policy sets.
Name
Name of the trust policy set.
This field displays the name of the existing custom policy set that you selected. If a new policy set is being created, this field is blank. Enter a policy set name.
Data type: String
Description
Specifies a brief description of the new or existing custom policy set.
This field provides a brief description for the existing policy set that is displayed in the Name field. If a new policy set is being created, this field is blank. Enter a brief policy set description to help distinguish it from other policy sets. We cannot change the descriptions of the default policy sets.
Data type: String
Policies
Specifies a collection of trust-related policies.
The Policies section displays a list of pre-configured system-level trust policies. If the system policy set is a default trust policy set, policies cannot be added, deleted, enabled, or disabled. If the system policy set is an existing custom trust policy set, you can change the policies. If you are creating a new custom trust policy set, you can add new policies. We can also delete, enable, or disable any policies that are added.
Select

Click Add to display a list of valid policies that you can add to the named trust policy set.
To manage existing system policies, select the check box for a policy and select one of the following actions:
Actions Description Delete Removes one or more policies from the named custom policy set. Enable Specifies that the policy is enabled for the policy set and displays Enabled in the State column. Disable Specifies that the policy is disabled for the policy set. The policy remains in the list but displays Disabled in the State column.
