Chapter 10 Managing Access Policies
Configuring Access Services
Configuring Access Services
Access services contain the authentication and authorization policies for requests. You can create
separate access services for different use cases; for example, device administration, wireless network
access, and so on.
When you create an access service, you define the type of policies and policy structures that it contains;
for example, policies for device administration or network access.
Note You must create access services before you define service selection rules, although you do not need to
define the policies in the services.
This section contains the following topics:
• Creating, Duplicating, and Editing Access Services, page 10-12
• Deleting an Access Service, page 10-20
After you create an access service, you can use it in the service selection policy. See Configuring the
Service Selection Policy, page 10-5.
You can customize and modify the policies in the access service. See Configuring Access Service
Policies, page 10-21.
