Creation and configuration of run-time policies from CentraSite are disabled by default. However, you can enable it by modifying the centrasite.xml file. For the procedure, see Enabling CentraSite Run-Time Aspects.
If the default configuration is overridden, then you create run-time policies and apply them to proxy APIs in order to govern the APIs' run-time execution.
A run-time policy is a sequence of actions that are carried out by a policy-enforcement point (PEP) gateway when a consumer requests a particular API through the gateway. The actions in a run-time policy perform activities such as identifying and validating consumers, validating signatures, and capturing performance metrics.
This section describes how to create run-time policies using CentraSite Business UI and store them in the CentraSite registry or repository.
When you create a run-time policy in CentraSite Business UI, you:
*Define the virtual types on which to you want to enforce the policy. CentraSite provides predefined virtual types.
*Add run-time actions to the policy and configure their parameters. CentraSite provides a set of built-in run-time actions.
*Specify the gateway (for example, webMethods Mediator) to which you publish the policy and its virtual types.
*Activate the policy.
