Migrating custom (legacy) policies

Prev Next

Custom polices created using an API custom configuration channel are migrated as custom (legacy) policies when you upgrade your Endpoint Security (HX) server to version 4.5 or later. Legacy policies retain their host set assignments and take priority over all other xAgent policies.

Configuration settings for legacy policies are only viewable through the API. Legacy policies are not displayed the Web UI. You cannot edit these policies, change their host set assignment, or priority level. If you need to modify a legacy policy, you must delete the policy through the API and create a custom policy in the Web UI that replaces it.

Access the Policy Details panel on the Assign Policies to Host Sets page to determine if a host set is assigned a legacy policy. If a select host set is mapped to a legacy policy, the Policy Details panel will display an alert notification indicating the host set has a custom configuration.
