Configuring General Settings for an MPE device

To configure the general settings for an MPE device:
  1. From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Configuration.

    The content tree displays a list of policy server groups; the initial group is ALL.

  2. From the content tree, select the policy server.

    The Policy Server Administration page opens.

  3. Select the Data Sources tab.

    The page lists the current data sources.

  4. Click Modify.

    The Modify Data Sources page opens.

  5. The following general settings are available:
    • Merge Search Results

      If this option is set to False and you have defined multiple data sources and a search returns results from more than one source, the results are displayed in source order.

      To display search results in one sorted list, set this option to True. If enabled,, multiple primary data sources are searched asynchronously. Secondary searches are dependent on the results of the primary data sources they are associated with, and will run as soon as the results are returned from that primary. The secondary searches will not wait for the results of other primary data sources before initiating.

    • Subscription Enabled Via Policy Only

      If this option is set to True, the MPE device will only send SNR (Subscription-Notifications-Requests) messages to data sources when a policy is executed that includes the policy action enable subscription for notification of user profile changes. If the option is set to False, you can enable subscriptions by setting the appropriate Subscribe options (see Configuring MPE Protocol Options).

  6. Click Save.
