Viewing Extension Details

You can modify the details of an existing extension and control the information Access Manager provides to the extension when the data is evaluated.

  1. Click Policies > Extensions.

  2. Click the name of the extension.

    You can view or modify the following details:

    Description: (Optional) Specifies the purpose of the extension and how it must be used.

    Class Name: Specifies the name of the class that creates the extension, for example com.acme.policy.action.successActionFactory.

    File Name: Specifies the JAR file that contains the Java class that implements the extension and its corresponding factory. Select the appropriate file from the list.

  3. (Conditional) Specify the Condition Parameters required by the extension.

    The documentation for the extension must tell you the number of parameters it requires and the data type of each parameter. Create the parameter with a unique name and unique ID.

    • To add a configuration parameter, click New, enter a name (a string) and an ID (a number) for the parameter, then click OK. In Mapping, select the data item from the list. The selected data is available whenever the extension class is called to evaluate an action, a condition, or data.

    • To delete a configuration parameter, select the parameter, then click Delete.
