Configuring automatic attestation of policy violations
NOTE: This functionality is only available if the Attestation Module in installed.
Attestation of policy violations requires an attestation policy that matches the company policy. This attestation policy must determine the same objects as the company policy.
To set up automatic attesting of policy violations
-
Create an attestation policy for attesting objects that violate a company policy. Ensure that the same objects are determined by this attestation policy as by the company policy.
For more information about creating and editing attestation policies, see the One Identity Manager Attestation Administration Guide.
-
Create a new company policy or edit an existing company policy. Enter the following data:
-
Attestation policy: From the menu, select the attestation policy to be used for attesting policy violations.
Ensure that the same objects are determined by this attestation policy as by the company policy. Check the assigned tables and conditions.
-
Start attestation of new rule violations immediately: Specify whether an attestation case is created immediately for each new policy violation.
If this option is disabled, attestation is only started by the schedule stored with the attestation policy or by the Recertify all policy violations task.
