Manage policies in a policy set using the admin console


When working with policy sets in the admin console, we can customize the included policies to ensure message security. We can enable, disable, customize, add, or delete policies from a policy set. With the policy sets, we can define policies for WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Transaction, HTTP transport, JMS transport, and SSL transport. The policies for all but WS-Security are relatively straightforward to define.

We can customize the policies for custom policy sets. The provided default policy sets cannot be edited. Make sure that we have created a copy of the default policy set or created a completely new policy set to specify the policies for this policy set.


Customize policies associated with a policy set

  1. Click one of the following:

    • Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets >policy_set_name

    • Services > Policy sets > System policy sets >policy_set_name

    We can also click...

      Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets > New

    ...or...

    Follow this path when you want to create a new policy set and the associated policy or policies.

  2. Add a policy to a custom policy set.
  3. Enable a policy for a custom policy set.

  4. We can also disable a policy from a custom policy set.

  5. We can also delete a policy from a custom policy set.

 

Next steps

If the policy set we have modified is an attached policy set, restart all affected applications to pick up the changes you made. If the policy set is unattached, then no further action is required.
