Deploying a Local Policy

Steps

1. Using the Desktop Manager create a profile with the required policy settings.

2. Using the Desktop Manager export the profile to a zip file.

3. On your client host, create the directory ${DataDir}/Policies/profiles/PROFILE_REPOSITORY_default, if it does not already exist.

   ${DataDir} corresponds to the value of the Configuration Agent's Data Directory which is /var/opt/apoc by default.

4. Copy the previously exported zip file to ${DataDir}/Policies/profiles/PROFILE_REPOSITORY_default.

5. Ensure that the Configuration Agent is configured to apply available local policies (see Additional Agent Settings for more details ).

   Note –

   If you change the Configuration Agent's “ApplyLocalPolicy” setting, you should reload the Configuration Agent by logging in as root and typing the command /usr/lib/apoc/apocd reload.

   Any local policy deployed in this manner will be made available to clients during the next Configuration Agent change detection cycle.
