Create a remote action security policy

You can configure a management server to allow or deny remote automatic action requests using a remote action security policy.

To create a remote action security policy

1. In the console tree, under Policy managementServer policies grouped by type, right-click Remote Action Security and then click NewPolicy. The remote action security policy editor opens.
2. In the General tab, click one the following options:

   • Deny all actions

     No remote automatic actions are allowed.

   • Allow actions

     Remote automatic actions are allowed.

     Optional. HTTPS agents run policies that the management server secures using certificates. If someone tampers with a policy or the action that it contains, the policy becomes invalid. To allow remote automatic actions from HTTPS agents only, select the Only certified check box. No remote automatic actions from DCE agents are allowed.

3. Optional. Set exceptions. For more information, see Set exceptions for a remote action security policy.
4. Save the policy, and then deploy it to the management server that you want to configure.
