Duplicating a Template

You can duplicate a template that's attached to an OCI instance by "detaching" the template, then saving the settings with a new template name.

Tip:

Duplicating an existing template is a quickly way to create a new template with similar settings. You only have to change settings that will be different in the new template.

Prerequisites:

  • You must have an OCI instance registered in Oracle CASB Cloud Service. See Adding an OCI Instance.

  • You must have created an OCI security control template in Oracle CASB Cloud Service. See Creating a Template.

  • The template that you want to duplicate must be attached to an OCI instance that you open in the Update security control baseline page (before or after you open it).

  1. Select Applications from the Navigation menu. If the Navigation Menu is not displayed, click the Navigation Menu icon Image of the Navigation Menu icon. to display it.
    • In card view, click the icon for the instance that you want to modify, and then in the Health Summary, select ModifyUpdate security control baseline.

    • In grid view, drop down the Action list for the instance you want to modify and select Update security control baseline.

    Tip:

    Alternatively, from the Dashboard or the Applications page, you can select Add/Modify App, Modify an app instance, Update security control baseline, and then select the application instance you want to modify and click Next.

  2. Verify that the Template box at the top of the page displays the name of the template that you want to duplicate.
  3. Drop down the Template list and select Custom.
  4. To the right of the Template box at the top of the page, click the Plus Sign icon Image of the Plus Sign icon..
  5. Enter a name for the new template.
  6. Make any changes needed in the security control settings in the OCI instance, so that those settings are exactly what you want the new template to have.

    See Editing a Template. The new template will pick up all the settings from the OCI instance except Exceptions.

  7. When you are ready to create the new template with the current security control settings:
    1. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the prompt under the Confirmation heading.

      The prompt should say, "Use the new threshold values and update template <template_name>," where <template_name> is the name you entered at the top of the page.

    2. When you have verified the confirmation prompt, select Use the new threshold values and update template <template_name>..

      This enables the Submit button.

    3. Click Submit.

      The name of the template you just created now appears in the Template box at the top of the page. This indicates that the new template is now attached to this OCI instance.

  8. If you do not want the new template to be attached to the OCI instance:
    1. Reopen the OCI instance in the Update security control baseline page.
    2. Drop down the Template list at the top of the page.
    3. Select:
      • Custom to detach the OCI instance from all templates, or

      • Another template name, to attach that template to the OCI instance.

    4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the prompt under the Confirmation heading.
    5. When you are sure that the prompt indicates that you will be making the change that you want to for this OCI instance, select Use the new threshold values....

      This enables the Submit button.

    6. Click Submit.

      The Template box at the top of the page now shows either "Custom" or the name of the newly attached template.
