Access control policies do not get propagated from a staging
server to a production server using the stagingProp utility. It is
still useful, however, to test the policies on staging to ensure it
is working as expected. You can propagate data from staging to production.
Procedure
- Add or modify access control policies using an XML file.
This is the recommended approach to customizing access control
policies. This approach is more flexible and can add or make more
complex changes to policies. The only limitation is policies cannot
be removed using this method.
- Prepare
your custom XML policies file.
- Load
your XML file to the staging server database.
- Test your policies on the staging server and make any
changes, if necessary.
- Once satisfied with your policies, copy the XML policies
file to the production server.
- Load
the same XML file to the production server database.
- Refresh the access control registries.
- Change access control policies from the Organization Administration
Console.
- Make your changes through the Organization Administration
Console of the staging server. Note the steps that have been made,
as you will make the same changes in the production server.
- Test your policies on the staging server and make any
changes, if necessary.
- Once satisfied with your policies, make the same changes
to the production server.
