CONFIGURING

Using the Policy Synopsis tool to determine the effective policy
To determine the effective policy governing a selected user, use the Policy Synopsis tool to generate a report that is written to the Policy Synopsis Results database (POLCYSYN.NSF).

About this task

If any dynamic policies were involved in the calculation of the effective policy, they are listed in order of precedence and the value of each setting derived by a dynamic policy decision is displayed in tabular format.

The policy tools are not available in the DominoŽ Web Administrator client.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab.

2. Select the People view, and then select one or more users.

3. From the Tools pane, select Policy Synopsis.

4. Under Select Report Type, select one:

Summary Only -- (default) to produce a report that lists the hierarchy of policy documents used to derive the effective policy for the specified user.
Detailed -- to produce a report that lists the hierarchy of policy documents of the effective policy for the specified user, and includes the actual values, and the policy and policy settings documents from which the value was derived. Then select the policy settings documents for which you want details.

5. Optional: Click Results Database to change the name or location of the results database. The default is Policy Synopsis Database on local.

If allowed in the context, select one of the following options:

Note:

In some contexts, you make this choice in a preceding dialog box instead of in the Results Database dialog box.

Overwrite database – Deletes any existing results database and creates a new one.
Append to this database – Adds new results data to the database that was already specified.

Select the server on which you want the results database to reside.

Tip:

It is recommended that you create the results database on a local client rather than on a server. If multiple people generate results databases on a server, they should each specify a different file name so the results do not conflict.

Modify the database title if you do not want to use the default title.

d. Modify the database filename if you do not want to use the default filename.

e. If allowed in the context, click the folder icon to change the drive and/or directory in which the database is stored.

6. Click OK. When the Policy Synopsis results database (POLCYSYN.NSF) opens, double-click the report to open it.
