You can use the administrative console to view lists of policy
sets. Policy sets can either be default policy sets that you cannot edit or
custom policy sets that you have created and can edit. You can use policy
sets, or assertions that define services, to simplify your Web services configuration
because policy sets group security and other Web services settings into reusable
units.
Before you begin
If you are creating a custom policy set by copying an existing default
policy set, you might want to view the existing policy sets to choose a policy
set with properties similar to the one you are planning to create.
About this task
You can view a list of policy sets to decide which policy sets can
be reused or copied, modified and reused.
Procedure
- To view policy sets from the administrative console, click or .
- Set the number of policy set rows that you want to view at a time
using the Preferences settings. The default value is 20. The Editable
column on the table in this view shows which policy sets you can edit. You
can only edit the custom policy sets that you create. You cannot edit the
provided default policy sets.
- To view the details for any of the policy sets, click the name
of the policy set in the Name column of the table. The Policy set
settings page displays details about the selected policy set. If the policy
set is a custom policy set you can edit the fields on the page. If the policy
set is a provided default, then you can copy and reuse the policy set. You
cannot edit the fields otherwise.
Results
After you have viewed the available policy sets and their settings,
you can then decide if you want to create a new policy set, copy an existing
policy set that you can rename, or use one of the existing policy sets that
meets your needs.
