Enabling policy management

The Policy Management feature enables an administrator to centrally manage/unmanage objects from the IP Configuration Manager.

The policy management feature is controlled by the flag, IsUserCustomizationEnabled of the CM_Configuration class. This is defined in the icf-c/bootend.conf file. This flag has to be changed to TRUE before starting the IP-Configuration Manager server to enable the Custom Policy Groups.

CM_Configuration::CM-Configuration
{
    IsUserCustomizationEnabled = TRUE
}

If you start an IP Configuration Manager server without an RPS, modify icf-c/bootend.conf and change IsUserCustomizationEnabled =True

./sm_edit ../conf/icf-c/bootend.conf

If you start an IP Configuration Manager server with an RPS, perform the following two steps:

Step 1:

./sm_edit ../conf/icf-c/bootend.conf

and change IsUserCustomizationEnabled =True

Step 2:

./dmctl -s IP-CM invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager loadSettings <BASE-DIR>/conf/icf-c/settings_custom.conf, where “IP-CM” is the name of the IP Configuration Manager server.

If you want to enable Policy Management in the running IP Configuration Manager server, execute the following three steps:

Step 1:

./dmctl -s IP-CM put CM_Configuration::CM-Configuration::IsUserCustomizationEnabled TRUE, where “IP-CM” is the name of the IP Configuration Manager server.

Step 2:

./sm_edit ../conf/icf-c/bootend.conf

and change IsUserCustomizationEnabled =True

Step 3:

./dmctl -s IP-CM invoke ICF_PolicyManager::ICF-PolicyManager loadSettings <BASE-DIR>/conf/icf-c/settings_custom.conf, where “IP-CM” is the name of the IP Configuration Manager server.

The following additional groups will be displayed in the Polling and Threshold Console once the Custom Policy groups have been loaded.
