Creating Secret Policies

A secret policy is a set of rules that you can apply all at once to multiple secrets. For example, a secret policy could include rules about remote password changing or security settings, and you could apply all of the rules as a single policy to multiple secrets, whether the secrets reside in the same folder or different folders.

Follow the procedure below to create a secret policy:

1. Navigate to Admin > Secret Policies. The Secret Policy page appears.

2. On the Secret Policy page, click Create secret policy. A popup appears.

3. In the Secret Policy popup type a Name and Description for your new security policy.

4. Click to select the Enabled check box next to the State field.

5. Click Save. The new policy's page appears on the Policy tab and Summary subtab.

   Because you are creating a brand-new secret policy, the value in the setting column for many policy items is (Not Set).

6. Click each subtab in turn and click the Edit button to set which parameters are enforced. See the various topics for specifics about each parameter.
