In a development environment, you might need to quickly reconfigure PingAuthorize Server between policy branches.

  1. To set up branch changes, you must first define a Policy External Server configuration for each branch.
  2. Change the Policy Decision Service’s policy-server property as needed.

    Assume that you have two policy branches in the Policy Editor: Stable Policies and Experimental Policies. Each branch is represented in the PingAuthorize Server configuration as a Policy External Server. During testing, you can switch back and forth between branches by updating the Policy Decision Service’s policy-server property. To change to the Experimental Policies branch, run this command:

    dsconfig set-policy-decision-service-prop \
  --set "policy-server:Experimental Policies"

    To change back to the Stable Policies branch, run this command:

    dsconfig set-policy-decision-service-prop \
   --set "policy-server:Stable Policies"
