Viewing Policy Information

To view your currently configured policies, go to Configuration > Policies in the UI, and be sure to highlight the Policies tab.

The following table shows you an example of what a policy table looks like after three different policies have been created and assigned to DPSK pools, certificate templates, or PEAP.

Policy Table Example

You can use the policy table as follows:

Description of Policy Table

Column Title Description
+
  • You can view details of the policy by clicking on the magnifying glass icon (for an example of the Policy Information screen that gets invoked, see Policy Information Screen Example.
  • You can edit the policy by clicking on the pencil icon.
  • If the policy has not yet been assigned (such as to PEAP, a certificate template, or a DPSK pool), there will be a X next to the policy name. Clicking that X deletes the policy. However, in the example above, all three policies are in use; therefore the - sign denotes that you cannot delete the policy as long as it remains in use. You would first need to remove the policy from where it is being used before you can delete the policy from the table shown above.
Name The name of the policy as configured in the Display Name field in the Policy configuration screen, an example of which is shown in Create Policy Screen.
Policy All the conditions that you set when you created the policy are listed in this column. For example, the "Building 1 on weekdays" policy conditions are the ones that were configured in the example shown in Create Policy Screen.
Attribute Group Name The name of the group that has been selected in the RADIUS Attribute Group drop-down when the policy was created. For the "Building 1 on weekdays" policy shown in this example, the group name VLAN 1 matches the selection that was shown in the example in Create Policy Screen.
Attributes Lists all the attributes that were set for the corresponding RADIUS attribute group name. For the "VLAN 1" attribute group name shown in this example, the attribute "VLAN 1" is listed because that is the only attribute that was set during the configuration of the VLAN 1 RADIUS attribute group name, as shown in Create RADIUS Attribute Screen.
Note: The "Reply Username" attribute applies only to certificate templates.
DPSK Rel, Cert Template Rel, and PEAP Rel The number of times that a policy has been assigned to each category of authentication.

Policy Information Screen Example

screen above and descr below updated for 5.8

The screen above indicates that the policy is currently being used by PEAP, one DPSK pool, and one certificate. The "Location" column of this screen in the UI provides live links to the specific configuration areas where the policy is used.

The Usage column will be incremented each time a device is assigned to the policy in question. Also, If a device then gets assigned to a different policy and later gets reassigned to its original policy, the usage count of the original policy will be incremented.
