Managing policies in a policy set using the administrative console

When working with policy sets in the administrative console, you can customize the included policies to ensure message security. You can enable, disable, customize, add, or delete policies from a policy set. With your policy sets, you can define policies for WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Transaction, HTTP transport, Java™ Messaging Service (JMS) transport, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport. The policies for all but WS-Security are relatively straightforward to define.

Before you begin

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

About this task

Customize policies associated with a policy set using the administrative console.

Procedure

  1. Click one of the following:
    • Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets >policy_set_name
    • Services > Policy sets > System policy sets >policy_set_name

    You can also click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets > New or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets > New. 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. To do this, see Adding policies to policy sets using the administrative console.
  3. Enable a policy for a custom policy set. To do this, see Enabling policies for policy sets using the administrative console.
  4. Optional: You can also disable a policy from a custom policy set. To do this, see Disabling policies from policy sets using the administrative console.
  5. Optional: You can also delete a policy from a custom policy set. To do this, see Deleting policies from policy sets using the administrative console.

Results

After you have customized your policies, the associated policy set can protect messages according to the policy or policies defined.

What to do next

If the policy set you 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.
