Add New button 

Opens a dialog box that prompts you for the name of the policy that you want to add. The name for this new policy appears on the policies list panel. You add the rules for the new policy on the Policy Rules page. 

Edit button  

Opens the Policy Rules page for the policy that you have highlighted and allows you to change the parameters. If the Edit button displays (RO), it means that the policy that you highlighted is read-only. The read-only mode applies only to the active policy and the policy versions in the version column: 

• You cannot modify an active policy.

• You must click the name (the first column of the policies list panel) to highlight the policy that you want to edit.

Copy button 

Opens a dialog box that prompts you for the new name of the policy to which you want to copy the information from the policy that you highlighted on the Policies List panel. 

Rename button 

Opens a dialog box asking for the new name you want to assign to the selected policy on the Policies List panel. 

Delete button 

Opens a dialog box asking you to confirm you want to delete the selected policy on the Policies List panel. 

Activate button 

Activates the selected policy on the Policies List panel for the Screen. After you click the Activate button, the version and active policy information are updated in the highlighted row.

Backup All button 

Opens the Backup All dialog box, which enables copying the policies to a file or diskette. You cannot use the Backup All button if you are using a browser whose security restrictions do not allow access to the file system from applets. Most browsers have plug-in modules that permit you to back up your policies to a local file or diskette. 

The backup medium contains copies of the local identities (the encryption keys and certificates) and must be stored securely and disposed of securely to avoid compromising your security. 

Restore All button 

Opens the Restore All dialog box, which enables restoring the policies from a file or diskette. The restore operation causes the information from the backup file to overwrite all current policy information. You cannot use the Restore All button if you are using a browser whose security restrictions do not allow access to the file system from applets. 

Initialize HA button 

Opens the Initialize HA dialog box. This dialog box contains the statements that you need to be connected to the HA primary to perform this operation and that you must select the interface you would like to be the HA interface for the primary. This dialog box presents a choice list of all the interfaces available. 

Help button 

Opens the online help.
