Before you begin
The Management API can only run on appliances that host Policy Server. This means:
- Full policy source
- User directory and filtering
If you have installed the Management API on an appliance, but later need to redeploy the appliances as a filtering only appliance, use the following procedure:
Steps
-
Identify which Policy Server instance the new filtering only appliance will use.
- To continue using the Management API for this Policy Server, it must reside on an appliance or Linux server.
- If you plan to use a new instance of Policy Server, deploy the new instance before changing the policy source mode on the appliance.
-
If you intend to continue using the Management API, make sure that it is installed and running on the new Policy Server machine.
-
Uninstall the Management API from the appliance:
curl -k -u admin:<password> -X PUT https://<c_interface>/ wse/admin/api/uninstall
-
Change the appliance mode to filtering only.
