<h1 class="topictitle1">Overview of iSeries Access for Windows policies</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Use iSeries™ Access
|
|
for Windows<sup>®</sup> System
|
|
Policies to restrict users from certain actions, and to suggest or require
|
|
certain configuration features.</p>
|
|
<p>System policies can apply to individual Windows user profiles, and specific
|
|
PCs. However, these policies do not offer control over iSeries server resources, and are not
|
|
a substitute for iSeries security.
|
|
For a description of what you can do with these policies, refer to Types and
|
|
scopes of policies.</p>
|
|
<p>Use of Group Policy to control use and configuration of iSeries Access
|
|
for Windows had
|
|
limited testing and can therefore provide unpredictable results. For additional
|
|
information about Group Policy, see Microsoft<sup>®</sup> documentation. The remainder
|
|
of this topic discusses the tested, supported use of iSeries Access for Windows policies.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Policy support in your network</h4><p>Policies can reside
|
|
on a file server. When configured on a file server, each time users sign-on
|
|
to their Windows workstation, their workstation downloads
|
|
all the policies that apply to that Windows user profile. The user's PC
|
|
applies the policies to the registry before the user does anything on the
|
|
workstation. Each Windows operating system comes with the code needed
|
|
to download policies.</p>
|
|
<p>To use the full capability of policies, you need
|
|
the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>A primary logon server</li>
|
|
<li>A policy server</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>You can use IBM<sup>®</sup> iSeries Support for Windows Network Neighborhood (iSeries NetServer™)
|
|
as the policy server.</p>
|
|
<p>See Set up your system to use policies for more
|
|
information.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Policy files</h4><p>Policy definitions are contained in
|
|
policy templates, which organize the policies into categories. iSeries Access
|
|
for Windows provides
|
|
five policy templates, one for each of the following functions:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Restricting iSeries Access
|
|
for Windows functions
|
|
for a given system (sysname.adm)</li>
|
|
<li>Restricting specific iSeries Access for Windows function at runtime (caerestr.adm)</li>
|
|
<li>Restrict which components users may install or uninstall (caeinrst.adm)</li>
|
|
<li>Mandate or suggest configuration settings for specific environments, the
|
|
systems within those environments, and some configurable values for those
|
|
systems (config.adm)</li>
|
|
<li>Suggest or mandate global configurable values (caecfg.adm)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>You must generate the policy templates with the CWBADGEN utility before
|
|
creating or modifying specific policies. Then use the Microsoft System
|
|
Policy Editor or the Microsoft Management Console Group
|
|
Policy snap-in, gpedit.msc, to activate the templates and set their constituent
|
|
policies. If using the Microsoft System Policy Editor, save
|
|
the changes to a policy file. If using gpedit.msc, the policy settings are
|
|
stored in a Group Policy Object automatically. See Microsoft documentation for details.</p>
|
|

|
|
Create policies for more information.</p>
