Importing the zip file

To import the zip file

1On the computer that runs the Symantec Critical System Protection management console, click Start > Programs > Symantec Critical System Protection > Authoring Tool.

2In the Login dialog, type your user name and password.

3In the Server box, select a management server, and then click OK.

4In the authoring environment console, click the Library tab, and then click the Add Folder icon.

5Click inside the name of the new folder and rename the folder to a descriptive name such as ITA_Policies or HIDS_Policies.

6Click File > Import.

7In the Import dialog, navigate to and select the .zip file that contains your converted policies, and then click Import.

8In the Import To dialog, in the lower pane, double-click Library, double- click the name of your new folder, and then click Import.

The yellow icons identify rulesets.

Creating a new policy

When you import your legacy policies, they appear in the authoring environment as rulesets. If the -p switch was used, your imported legacy policies appear in the authoring environment as policy files.

The next procedure is to create a new policy and add one of the legacy rulesets that you imported. Symantec recommends that you follow a one ruleset per policy association to reduce complexity.

To create a new policy

1On the Library tab, click File > New.

2In the New dialog, click Detection Policy, and then click Open.
