Configuring Access Services

Configuring Access Services

Access services contain the authentication and authorization policies for requests. You can create separate access services for different use cases; for example, device administration, wireless network access, and so on.

When you create an access service, you define the type of policies and policy structures that it contains; for example, policies for device administration or network access.

Note You must create access services before you define service selection rules, although you do not need to define the policies in the services.

This section contains the following topics:

•Creating, Duplicating, and Editing Access Services, page 10-12

•Deleting an Access Service, page 10-20

After you create an access service, you can use it in the service selection policy. See Configuring the Service Selection Policy, page 10-5.

You can customize and modify the policies in the access service. See Configuring Access Service Policies, page 10-21.
