Creating and Modifying Local Parameters in Policy Editor

When you create a policy group, Policy Editor automatically creates a Local Parameters folder inside the policy group. (See Figure 29.) All local parameters that you create within the policy group are added as objects in the Local Parameters folder. The ParameterFolder pane also displays a summary table of all local parameters in the policy group.

When you perform a SaveAs operation to a directory server, the SRC software does not check the names of local parameters in the policy group with names of existing global parameters in the directory server. After the SaveAs operation is complete, the directory server may contain global parameters and local parameters with the same names. You will not receive any messages about duplicate names. If local and global parameters have duplicate names, the policy engine uses the local parameter definitions.
