Associating Policies with a Policy Template

Edit online

You must have the webMethods API Gateway's manage policy templates functional privilege assigned.

The Policy Configuration tab on the Policy Template details page specifies the set of policy stages and the list of policies (applicable for each stage).

To modify the list of policies of a policy template

  1. Click Policies in the title navigation bar.
  2. Click the Policy Templates tab.
    A list of all available policy templates appears. Use the Show drop-down list at the bottom of the page to set the maximum number of templates you want to display in a page.
  3. Select the required template.
    The Policy Template details page appears.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Click the Policy Configuration tab.
    The policy template information is provided in the following sections:
    • Policy catalog - Transport, Identify and Access, Request Processing, Routing, Traffic Monitoring, Response Processing, Error Handling
    • Infographic - List of applied policies
    • Policy properties - Collection of policy properties
  6. In the Policy catalog section, click the chevron to expand the required policy stage.
    This displays a list of policies that are classified under the particular stage.
  7. In the expanded list of policies, select the policies that you want webMethods API Gateway to execute when it applies this policy template. To select a policy, click the Add (+) icon next to the policy name. The selected policies are displayed in the Infographic section.

    Use the Delete (X) icon in any individual policy to remove that particular policy from the Infographic section.

  8. To configure the properties for any new policies that you might have added to the Infographic section in the preceding steps or to make any necessary updates to the properties for existing policies in the policy template, see Configuring Properties for a Policy Template.
  9. When the list of policies is complete and you have configured all of the properties for the policies correctly, click Save to save the updated policy template.
  10. Click overview to view the complete list of policies in the updated policy template.
    The Overview button is located in the lower right-corner of the Infographic section. In addition, you can view the configured properties for the individual policies.

    To exit the overview, click the Close icon.
