You can use the administrative console to delete policies from
policy sets. Deleting the policy removes the policy that further defined the
rules governing the policy set.
Before you begin
Before deleting a policy from a policy set, be sure that you no longer
want the policy to be available to the policy set. Otherwise, consider disabling
it so that it is still available to the policy set but not currently associated
with the policy set. You can disable the policy and leave it available for
the policy set by clicking the
Select button by the policy to be disabled
and then clicking the
Disable button. That policy (and any configuration
changes you have made to it) is still available to the policy set but is not
currently included in the policy set.
About this task
To delete a policy from a policy set, use the administrative console.
Procedure
- Click > policy_set_name or > policy_set_name. The Policy set settings page displays a listing of available policies
in the Policies table of the Policy set settings page for the policy
set selected. If you created a new policy set and did not copy and rename
an existing policy set, this table might contain no policies to delete.
- Delete the policy from the policy set.
- Click the Select box beside the policy that you want
to delete in the Policies table of the Policy set settings page.
- Click the Delete button.
- Verify that you want to delete the selected policy from the policy
set.
Results
You have deleted the policy from the policy set.
Example
If you have a policy set containing a policy that you no longer want
included in that policy set, you have two options: disable it or delete it.
In some cases, you might want to disable the policy if you have configured
attributes for it that you might want to enable at a later time. You can disable
the policy and leave it available for the policy set by clicking the
Select button
by the policy to be disabled and then clicking the
Disable button.
But for this example, you have decided that the policy WS-Addressing is no
longer valid for your custom policy set ABC_ps and you and you want to delete
it. To delete it, click the
Select button beside the WS-Addressing
policy and then click
Delete. Confirm that you want to delete the policy.
What to do next
You can now add other policies to the policy set or enable or disable
existing policies.
