28.4 Creating Enterprise JavaBean Authorization Policies for J2EE Agents

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    Description: (Optional) Specify a description for the rule.

    Priority: Specify the order in which a rule is applied in the policy, when the policy has multiple rules. The highest priority is 1 and 10 is the lowest. If two rules have the same priority, a Deny rule is applied before a Permit rule.

  4. In the Condition Group 1 section, click New, then select one of the following:

  5. To add multiple conditions to the same rule, either add a condition to the same condition group or create a new condition group. For information on how conditions and condition groups interact with each other, see Section 28.7, Using Multiple Conditions.

  6. In the Actions section, select either Permit or Deny.

  7. To save the rule, click OK, then click Apply Changes.

  8. Assign the policy to an EJB resource. See Assigning an Enterprise JavaBeans Authorization Policy to a Resource in the Novell Access Manager 3.0 SP4 Agent Guide
