Chapter 33 Configuring Policy Objects for Remote Access VPNs
Add and Edit File Object Dialog Boxes
When you create a file object, Security Manager makes a copy of the file in its storage system. These
files are backed up whenever you create a backup of the Security Manager database, and they are restored
if you restore the database. When you deploy configurations that specify a file object, the associated file
is download to the device in the appropriate directory.
After you create a file object, you typically should not edit it. If you need to replace the file, edit the file
object to select the new file, or create a new file object. If the file is editable, you can edit the file object
to identify the file’s location in the file repository, and use the desired editor to open and edit the file
outside of Security Manager. The file repository is the CSCOpx\MDC\FileRepository folder in the
installation directory (typically, C:\Program Files). The files are organized in subfolders named for the
file type.
For all file types except Image files, you can add a file from the Security Manager server or from the
local Security Manager client by selecting the appropriate tab on the Choose a file dialog box. You
cannot select files from a network server. You can control the ability to add files from the Security
Manager client from Tools > Security Manager Administration > Customize Desktop. For more
information, see Customize Desktop Page, page 11-6.
Tip If you are copying a file to the Security Manager server so that it can be used in a file object, do not copy
the file directly to the file repository.
When you delete a file object, the associated file is not deleted from the file repository.
Navigation Path
Select Manage > Policy Objects, then select File Objects from the Object Type Selector. Right-click
inside the work area, then select New Object or right-click a row, then select Edit Object.
