policy events questions

[Rburn99]

I'm working on creating a user access policy and I have some questions relating to policies.

1. Where can I see a list of all events and what actions trigger them. As just a simple example, how would I know whether to use httpproxy::connectrequest versus httpproxy::proxyrequest. What help topic explains each events source, cause, result, etc.

2. I don't seem to be able to select a different event in the policy edit window. And if that is not possible and you have to start over with a new policy to be able to change the event trigger, how do you move all your work to the new policy?

Thanks,
Robb

HI Robb

the events panel shows all events, and gives a brief description about when they are triggered.

As for events to policy. Since a policy can use Event context data, and event context data can be different for each different type of event, we try to prevent run-time failures (where a policy tries to access something that doesn't exist for an event) by restricting policies to the type of event they were created for. It's basically a compatibility thing.

You may still be able to drag drop items between different policy worksheets though.
