A distributed policy linking method is provided which performs a policy based management according to a plurality of pieces of policy information distributed in a plurality of domains. A policy configuration management system is installed which manages a set of an identifier and a policy repository for each piece of policy information stored in a plurality of policy repositories. The policy information corresponding to an event issued from a resource being managed is searched from the first policy repository. If the policy information retrieved includes an identifier representing a reference to a second policy repository, an access unit to the second policy repository is retrieved from the policy configuration management system according to the identifier. Policy information is then retrieved from the second policy repository and, based on the policy information obtained, a configuration modification operation is executed on the resource being managed.
