ADOPTING POLICY OBJECTS FOR HOST-BASED ACCESS CONTROL

摘要

A policy manager running on a client device receives policy data from a domain controller comprising a directory server and a file server. The client device runs an operating system that does not natively support policy retrieval from the directory server and file server. The policy manager identifies a policy type of the received policy data and identifies a policy processing plug-in associated with the identified policy type. The policy processing plug-in is connected to the operating system on the client device through a plug-in interface. The policy manager provides the received policy data to the identified policy processing plug-in for processing.
