Before you begin, you need to decide which level in the system hierarchy to use for new policies:
If you have access to the Audit and Quarantine features of IQ for Nexus Repository Manager, policies for your repositories are managed at the Root Organization level only. They do not require a specific application or organization. |
At the Root Organization and organization levels, you can use application categories to customize the implementation of policies across applications. Application categories provide a way to apply policies to a subset of select applications in an organization. For more details about application categories, see Application Categories in the Advanced Policy Management chapter. |
Once you decide at which level to apply policies, you can proceed with creating custom policies. The overall process is only a few steps. However, the extent of customizable settings available to you can complicate the process. This section lists the basic steps for creating a policy, and includes links to more detailed information about each step in the Understanding the Parts of a Policy section of this chapter.
To create policies:
After at least one policy is created (or imported), you can run an evaluation of an application to gather intelligence about its components and identify any vulnerabilities. The evaluation results, which include policy violations, are displayed in the Application Composition Report. For more information, see the Manual Application Evaluation and The Application Composition Report chapters.
