Updating Access Control

If you are using the policy.xml file to manage access control, you can edit the policy.xml file online and reload the policy from the Administration Console without restarting the cluster. You can only do this from a manager node.

Prerequisites
Task

For details on configuring access control using the policy.xnl file, see the SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor Configuration and Administration Guide.

  1. You can view all registered nodes or only a certain node from the Administration Console:
    • To view all registered nodes, in the application menu, select View > Open > Administration Console.
    • To view only a certain node, in the Perspective Resources view, select the node and select Resource > Administration Console.
  2. Edit the policy.xml in the $ESP_HOME\security directory.
  3. Select a node, click the arrow, and select Reload Policy to reload the policy.xml file.
    A new window displays indicating whether the request to reload the policy was issued. If it was issued successfully, the policy.xml file is reloaded without restarting the cluster.
