Chapter10 Managing Access Policies
Configuring the Service Selection Policy
Note If you create and save a simple policy, and then change to a rule-based policy, the simple policy becomes
the default rule of the rule-based policy. If you have saved a rule-based policy and then change to a
simple policy, you will lose all your rules except for the default rule. ACS automatically uses the default
rule as the simple policy.
Configuring a Simple Service Selection Policy
A simple service selection policy applies the same access service to all requests.
To configure a simple service selection policy:
Step1 Select Access Policies > Service Selection Policy.
By default, the Simple Service Selection Policy page appears.
Step2 Select an access service to apply; or, choose Deny Access.
Step3 Click Save Changes to save the policy.
Service Selection Policy Page
Use this page to configure a simple or rule-based policy to determine which service to apply to incoming
requests.
To display this page, choose Access Policies > Service Selection.
If you have already configured the service selection policy, the corresponding Simple Policy page (see
Table10-1) or R ule-based Policy page (see Table 10-2) opens; otherwise, the Simple Policy page opens
by default.
