6.3.5 Importing and Exporting Authorization Policies

You can import and export Authorization policies to run them in other Access Manager configurations and to analyze the authorization logic. The policy is exported as a text file with XML tags. It is not recommended to edit the exported file with a text editor. Any changes you want to make to a policy must be done through Administration Console.

To export an Authorization policy:

  1. Click Policies > Policies.

  2. Select an Authorization policy, then click Export.

  3. (Optional) Modify the name suggested for the file.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Specify where you want the file to be copied.

  6. Click OK.

To import a policy:

  1. Ensure that any referenced Role policies have been imported.

    See Section 6.2.8, Importing and Exporting Role Policies.

  2. If the policy uses LDAP or Liberty Profile attributes, ensure that Identity Server has been configured for these same attributes.

  3. Click Policies > Policies.

  4. Click Import, then browse to and select the file.

  5. Click OK.

  6. When the policy appears in the list, click Apply Changes.
