Attaching an authorization rule to a protected object with Web Portal Manager

We can attach an authorization rule to a protected object with Web Portal Manager.

Steps

1. Use Web Portal Manager to log on to the domain as a domain administrator.

2. Click AuthzRule → List AuthzRule to display the Manage AuthzRules page.

   A list of authorization rules that were created in ISAM are displayed. Each rule is a link that displays properties for that rule when selected.

3. Click the link for the authorization rule that we want to attach to an object. For example, the r2 authorization rule. The AuthzRule Properties page is displayed.

4. Click the Attach tab to view a list of protected objects to which the authorization rule is already attached, if any.

5. Click Attach to display the Attach AuthzRule page.

6. Type the Protected Object Path of the protected object to which we want to attach the authorization rule. This field is required. Be sure to type the full path name. For example, type the following path:

   /WebSEAL/tivoli.com/w3junction/index.html

7. Click Attach. If successful, the new protected object is added as a link to the list of objects to which the authorization rule is attached on the AuthzRule Properties-Attach page.
