Services

The Services section enables you to define the following types of services:

  • The resources to which you want to control access (what your policies will protect).

    For a resource, define only the top-level fields, such as Name, Parent, and Description. Leave the Service Type as None unless you plan to use the service as a policy information provider.

  • The policy information providers that you use as sources of data for the attributes that comprise policy decisions.

    Setting up services as policy information providers makes use of various service connectors.

    When you make a selection from the Service Type list, settings specific to the service are displayed, in addition to settings that apply to all service endpoints.

    When a service returns a value to resolve an attribute, you can:

    • Map the response to a type.

    • Apply a processor to the response to transform that response or to extract a specific part of it.
