Applying Policies

You can apply a policy on the Config UI by associating an existing policy to a target operation or reference endpoint.

Use Policy Binding to associate the policy with one or more target operation endpoints.

To apply any registered policy to a target operation or reference endpoints, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Start the Config UI, if not running.
  2. Create a new configuration or select an existing configuration.
  3. Click the SECURITY tab on the right hand side.
  4. Click the Policy Binding tab on the top menu.
  5. Click the Add Property icon to add a new policy binding.
  6. Enter the following parameters for the policy:
    Policy Binding Parameters
    Parameter Description
    Policy Specifies a name for the policy. The policy name must be configured under the Policy Mapping tab.
    URI Specifies the URI of the operation to which the policy is applied.
    Note: If the URI in facade operation is left blank, then URI field for security binding should use SOAP action instead of URI.
    Facade Operation Specifies the operation to which the policy is applied. The facade operation must be configured in the Facade Operation tab.
    Target Operation Specifies the target operation. The target operation must be configured in the Target Operation tab.
    Binding Specifies the binding component that the policy is applied to. This could be either a facade operation (service) or a target operation (reference).
    Flow Specifies the flow of the request or response. The possible values are:
    • in
    • out
    Partner Specifies the partner to which the policy is applied. This field can be left blank in case no partner needs to be applied.
    Type Specifies the type of the request.
    Note: Set this to SOAP for any SOAP request, or to http for any non-SOAP http request.
  7. Save changes to the project or configuration.
