OpenIDM provides an extensible policy service that enables you to apply specific validation requirements to various components and properties. The policy service provides a REST interface for reading policy requirements and validating the properties of components against configured policies. Objects and properties are validated automatically when they are created, updated, or patched. Policies can be applied to user passwords, but also to any kind of managed object.
The policy service enables you to do the following:
-
Read the configured policy requirements of a specific component.
-
Read the configured policy requirements of all components.
-
Validate a component object against the configured policies.
-
Validate the properties of a component against the configured policies.
A default policy applies to all managed objects. You can configure the default policy to suit your requirements, or you can extend the policy service by supplying your own scripted policies.
