Introdcution

The HTTPS methods mentioned in this chapter are used to add, delete, and list categories, URLs, and IP addresses via the Management API.

In all of the commands described in this document, <ps_ip_address> is the IP address of the Policy Server machine hosting the Management API. Note that changes made via any single Management API instance are stored to Policy Broker and replicated to all Management API instances within a short period.

Syntax examples for each the commands can be found at the end of this chapter; see Examples using curl.

In addition, a series of sample Python scripts for issuing Management API commands is available for download. Edit the sample scripts or use them for reference. See:
