Configuring the Authorization Manager to use an XML file stored
on a network share

Authorization Manager supports the storage of the Policy Store’s repository in an .xml file
that is stored on an Windows NT file system (NTFS) volume. The XML policy store should
be stored on the Xmedia Server as a shared file.

If you select to store the Policy Store in an XML file, you’ll need to designate its location in network-
accessible folder structure by its path and specify particular permissions for that file.

To assign the Policy Store repository as an XML file:
1.

Open the Authorization Manager snap-in window (see

page 20-24

). Then, right-click

the Authorization Manager node in the left column and select the N
