Note: You can only edit the fields on this page if you open this page for a custom policy set. You cannot edit default policies.
Policy set name

Specifies the name of a selected policy set. This field is blank if you are creating a new policy set. If you select an existing policy set from the Policy set page, then this field displays the name of that policy set. If this policy set is a default policy set, then this field is read only. If you are creating a new policy set, then this field is blank and you can enter a policy set name.

Description

Specifies a brief description of the policy set being viewed, modified or created. This field displays a brief description of the policy set displayed in the Policy Set Name field or is blank if a new policy set is being created. You can edit this field for custom policy sets only.

Policies

The Policies table displays a list of policies that are contained in the policy set. This table initially contains no policies when you are creating a new custom policy set. If the policy that is listed in the policies table is a default policy, then you cannot add, delete, enable or disable the policy. The configuration of a policy in a default policy set cannot be altered but you can view a policy by clicking on the policy name link. If the policy is a custom policy, you can modify the configuration of the policy by clicking the policy name link. You can alter the policies contained in a custom policy set using the following buttons:

Button Resulting action
Add Provides a list of valid policies, instances of which are not already included in the collection, that can be added to the policy set collection. The following are available policies:
  • WS-Addressing
  • WS-Security
  • WS-ReliableMessaging
  • WS-Transaction
  • HTTP transport
  • SSL transport
Note: The WS-Addressing and WS-Transaction policies are not links because they have no properties that can be configured. The WS-Addressing and WS-Transaction policies are either included and enabled in the policy set or not included or enabled.
Delete Removes the selected policy from the policy set and from the listing in the Name column of the table.
Enable The policy is enabled for the policy set and displayed as enabled in the State column.
Disable The policy is disabled for the policy set. The policy remains in the list but the State field shows the policy as Disabled.
Policies - Policy
Policies - State

Specifies an Enabled or Disabled status for each policy in the policy set. You cannot change the state for default policy sets. To change the state of the policy, select the policy and click Enable or Disable. The state is refreshed in this column to reflect your change.

If you disable a policy, you are temporarily removing the policy from the policy set without losing the configuration details for that policy. When a policy is disabled, you can easily re-enable the policy by selecting Enable. If the policy is deleted, the configuration for that policy no longer exists. Once a policy is deleted, to re-enable that policy in a policy set, you must add the policy to the policy set and enter the configuration details for that policy.

Policies - Description

Specifies a brief description of each policy in the policies table. You can only edit this field for custom policies. This field is blank if you are creating a new policy.
