Creating a Configuration Template

Note: You must create a configuration template before creating a virtual template because a virtual template references, and is dependent on, a configuration template.

Use this procedure if you want to make a template that you will use many times.

To create a configuration template:

  1. From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Configuration Template.

    The content tree displays a list of All Templates including Virtual Templates and Configuration Templates.

  2. From the content tree, select Configuration Templates.

    The Configuration Template Administration page opens.

  3. Click Create Template.

    The New Configuration Template page opens.

  4. Enter the Name of the template.

    The name can only contain the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 255 characters.

  5. (Optional) To use an existing template as a base for the new template, select an existing template from the Copy From list.
  6. (Optional) Enter a Description / Location.

    The text box is limited to 255 characters.

  7. Click Save.
The new template appears in the list in the content pane.
After creating the template, proceed with configuring the template:
