Policy Type objects

The policy extensibility feature is built upon Policy Type objects, each of which represents a single type of policy. Policy Type objects are used within both the policy type deployment and policy type usage processes. The process of deploying a new policy type involves the creation of a Policy Type object. During the process of adding a policy of a custom type, the policy type definition is retrieved from the respective Policy Type object.

Each Policy Type object holds the following data to define a single policy type:

  • Display name.  Identifies the policy type represented by the Policy Type object. This name is displayed on the wizard page where you select a policy to configure when creating a new Policy Object or adding a policy to an existing Policy Object.
  • Description.  A text describing the policy type. This text is displayed when you select the policy type in the wizard for creating a new Policy Object or in the wizard for adding a policy to an existing Policy Object.
  • Reference to Script Module.  Identifies the script to run upon the execution of a policy of this type. When adding a policy of a custom policy type, you effectively create a policy that runs the script from the Script Module specified by the respective Policy Type object.
  • Policy Type category.  Identifies the category of Policy Object to which a policy of this type can be added. A policy type may have the category option set to either Provisioning or Deprovisioning, allowing policies of that type to be added to either provisioning or deprovisioning Policy Objects respectively.
  • Function to declare parameters. Identifies the name of the script function that declares the configurable parameters for the administration policy that is based on this policy type. The function must exist in the Script Module selected for the policy type. By default, it is assumed that the parameters are declared by the function named onInit.
  • Policy Type icon  The image that appears next to the display name of the policy type on the wizard page where you select a policy to configure, to help identify and visually distinguish this policy type from the other policy types.

To create a custom policy type, you first need to create a Script Module that holds the policy script. Then, you can create a Policy Type object referring to that Script Module. When you import a policy type, Active Roles automatically creates both the Script Module and the Policy Type object for that policy type. After the Policy Type object has been created, you can add a policy of the new type to a Policy Object.

Creating and managing custom policy types

In Active Roles, Policy Type objects provide the ability to store the definition of a custom policy type in a single object. Policy Type objects can be exported and imported, which makes it easy to distribute custom policies to other environments.

When creating a new Policy Object or adding a policy to an existing Policy Object, an administrator is presented with a list of policy types derived from the Policy Type objects. Selecting a custom policy type from the list causes Active Roles to create a policy based on the settings found in the respective Policy Type object.

This section covers the following tasks specific to custom policy types:

For more information about Policy Type objects, including instructions on scripting for Policy Type objects, refer to the Active Roles SDK.

Creating a Policy Type object

Active Roles stores Policy Type objects in the Policy Types container. You can access that container in the Active Roles console by expanding the Configuration/Server Configuration branch of the console tree.

To create a new Policy Type object

  1. In the console tree, under Configuration/Server Configuration/Policy Types, right-click the Policy Type container in which you want to create a new object, and select New | Policy Type.

    For example, if you want to create a new object in the root container, right-click Policy Types.

  1. In the New Object - Policy Type wizard, type a name, a display name and, optionally, a description for the new object.

    The display name and description are displayed on the page for selecting a policy, in the wizards that are used to configure Policy Objects.

  1. Click Next.
  2. Click Browse and select the Script Module containing the script that will be run by the policies of this policy type.

    The Script Module must exist under the Configuration/Script Modules container and hold a policy script. For information about policy scripts, see the Active Roles SDK documentation.

  1. In the Policy Type category area, do one of the following:
    1. Click Provisioning if policies of this type are intended for Policy Objects of the provisioning category.
    2. Click Deprovisioning if policies of this type are intended for Policy Objects of the deprovisioning category.

    The policy types that have the Provisioning option selected appear on the page for selecting a policy in the wizard that is used to create a provisioning Policy Object or to add policies to an existing provisioning Policy Object. The policy types that have the Deprovisioning option selected appear in the wizard for creating a deprovisioning Policy Object or adding policies to such a Policy Object.

  1. From the Function to declare parameters list, select the name of the script function that defines the parameters specific to this type of administration policy.

    The list contains the names of all the functions found in the script you selected in Step 4. Every policy of this type will have the parameters that are specified by the function you select from the Function to declare parameters list. Normally, this is a function named onInit (see the Active Roles SDK documentation).

  1. Click Policy Type Icon to verify the image that denotes this type of policy. To choose a different image, click Change and open an icon file containing the image you want.

    This image appears next to the display name of the policy type on the wizard page for selecting a policy to configure, to help identify and visually distinguish this policy type from the other policy types.

    The image is stored in the Policy Type object. In the dialog box that appears when you click Policy Type Icon, you can view the image that is currently used. To revert to the default image, click Use Default Icon. If the button is unavailable, then the default image is currently used.

  1. Click Next and follow the steps in the wizard to complete the creation of the new Policy Type object.

Changing an existing Policy Type object

You can change an existing Policy Type object by changing the general properties, script, category, or icon. The general properties include the name, display name, and description. The Policy Type objects are located under Configuration/Server Configuration/Policy Types in the Active Roles console.

The following table summarizes the changes you can make to an existing Policy Type object, assuming that you have found the object in the Active Roles console.

Table 50: Changing an existing Policy Type object

To change

Do this

Commentary

Name of the object

Right-click the object and click Rename.

The name is used to identify the object, and must be unique among the objects held in the same Policy Type container.

Display name or description

Right-click the object, click Properties and make the necessary changes on the General tab.

Changing the display name or description also changes the policy name or description on the page for selecting a policy in the Policy Object management wizards.

Script Module

Right-click the object, click Properties, click the Script tab, click Browse, and then select the Script Module you want.

You can change the script in the Script Module that is currently associated with the Policy Type object instead of selecting a different Script Module. To view or change the script, find and select the Script Module in the Active Roles console tree, under Configuration/Script Modules.

Changing the script affects all the existing policies of this policy type. If you add a policy to a Policy Object and then change the script for the Policy Type object based on which the policy was created, the policy will run the changed script.

Policy Type category

Right-click the object, click Properties, click the Script tab, and then click either Provisioning or Deprovisioning.

Changing this option changes the appearance of the respective policy type in the Policy Object management wizards. For example, once the option has been changed from Provisioning to Deprovisioning, the policy type is no longer displayed in the wizard for configuring a provisioning Policy Object; instead, it appears in the wizard for configuring a deprovisioning Policy Object.

However, changing the Policy Type category does not affect the existing policies of this policy type. For example, once a policy is added to a provisioning Policy Object, the policy is retained in that Policy Object after changing the Policy Type category from Provisioning to Deprovisioning in the respective Policy Type object.

Function to declare parameters

Right-click the object, click Properties, click the Script tab, and then choose the appropriate function from the Function to declare parameters list.

Changing this setting changes the list of the policy parameters specific to this policy type. The changes do not affect the parameters of the existing policies of this type. When you add a new policy based on this policy type, the list of the policy parameters is built using the new function to declare parameters.

Policy Type icon

Right-click the object, click Properties, click the Script tab, click Policy Type Icon, and then do one of the following:

  • Click Change and open an icon file containing the image you want.
  • Click Use Default Icon to revert to the default image.

Changing this setting changes the image that appears next to the display name of the policy type in the Policy Object management wizards, on the page that prompts you to select a policy to configure.
