Use the Policy page of the Configuration Management tab to manage policies. Policies displayed on this page apply to the operation shown in the View Policies for list located in the upper left corner. When you select Requests, Renewals, or Revocations from the list, all policies that apply to your chosen operation will display. Each policy's Type, Status, and Description are displayed. A Default Policy is one which ships with Oracle Certificate Authority; a Custom Policy is one you write yourself. Default policies cannot be deleted (only disabled).
Select a policy to edit, enable, disable, or delete by clicking the radio button to its left and then clicking the desired action on the upper right above the policy list. You can view policies by clicking Edit to display its details. To change the order in which the displayed policies are applied, or to add a new one, click the Reorder or Add buttons.
For detailed information about policies see "Managing Policies in Oracle Certificate Authority" in Oracle Certificate Authority Administrator's Guide.
Changes to the policy configuration do not take effect until you restart the server as described in Starting and Stopping Oracle Certificate Authority Server. The TIP at the page bottom tells you when you need to restart the server.
