Using the Policy Code Samples

Access Manager provide Policy code samples to perform the following tasks:

• Add a new service which has a policy schema to Access Manager

• Develop and add custom developed subjects, referrals, and conditions to Access Manager

• Develop and run Policy evaluation programs

• Construct policies programmatically and add them to the policy store

• Create policies using amadmin command

All the files you need to run the policy code samples are located in the following directories:

Solaris Platform

AccessManager-base/samples/policy

Linux Platform

AccessManager-base/identity

Use Cases Illustrated by Policy Code Samples

Each of the following sections describes a sequence of steps you must take when using various means to run a policy evaluation program or to create policies. Each step in a sequence is linked to detailed instructions further down in this chapter.

To Run a Policy Evaluation Program for the URL Policy Agent Service

Use this sequence to runs a policy evaluation program for the iPlanetAMWebAgentService service.

1. Compile the Policy code samples.

   See Compiling the Policy Code Samples.

2. Develop and run a Policy evaluation program.

   See Developing and Running a Policy Evaluation Program.

To Run a Policy Evaluation Program for the URL Policy Agent Service and More

This sequence runs the evaluation program for iPlanetAMWebAgentService and the sample subject, condition, and referral implementations.

1. Compile the Policy code samples.

   See Compiling the Policy Code Samples.

2. Develop custom subjects, conditions, and referrals.

   See Developing Custom Subjects, Conditions, and Referrals.

   See Compiling the Policy Code Samples.

2. Develop and run a Policy evaluation program.

   See Developing and Running a Policy Evaluation Program.

To Programmatically Construct Policies

This sequence constructs policies and adds them to the policy store.

1. Compile the Policy code samples.

   See Compiling the Policy Code Samples.

2. Programmatically construct policies.
