Adding assertions

This procedure describes how to add an assertion.

About this task

You can add assertions to both endpoints and policies. Five assertion categories are provided in the drop-down assertion options form.

To add an assertion, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Add.
  2. Select the assertion from the Filtered Tree Selection dialog box in the Select Assertion Type popup window.
  3. After selecting the assertion type, you are presented with an assertion editor dialog. Select Required if you want the assertion to always be true. Select Locked if you do not want the assertion value to be changed.
  4. Enter the appropriate property values. This will add the assertion as a record in the table under the category.
  5. Repeat this process to add more assertions.
