9 Select the Secured check box for passwords you define or to obscure the values of other properties.
If a property is changed from Secured to Unsecured, Application Services resets the property value,
for security purposes. You must set a new password value for the property.
10 Click Delete to remove the selected row from the Properties section.
11 (Optional) Click Reset to revert to the original property value.
12 Click OK and save your changes when you are finished.
The policy you created is added to the page.
What to do next
Add a policy definition script to assess the compliance state of a deployment. See Create a Policy
Definition Script.
Create a Policy Deļ¬nition Script
Each policy definition has a SCAN script for the life cycle stage to assess the compliance state of a
deployment. Application Services calls the policy scan action script prior to performing operations, except
the teardown process, on the deployment or when a user explicitly initiates a policy scan on the
deployment.
The scan action script includes a model of deployment as defined in Application Services REST API
specification. The scan action script also receives additional components used in blueprint for the
deployment.
You must create policy instances in specific deployment environments to enable policies. If a policy
violation occurs during deployment, it is flagged and you can view the violation details in the compliance
view summary page.
Note Java Script is the only supported language for authoring policy definition scripts.
Policy properties defined in a policy definition are supplied to the script as individual variables. The script
can access them by declaring a variable with same name as the property name.
