FPCSystemPolicy Object

The FPCSystemPolicy object represents the system policy for an array. The system policy is defined by a set of policy rules, called system policy rules. A system policy rule is a predefined rule that allows specific types of requests from the Local Host network (the Forefront TMG computer) to reach specified destinations, or allows specific types of requests from specified sources to reach the Local Host network.

Each system policy rule is represented by an FPCPolicyRule object contained in the read-only FPCSystemPolicyRules collection accessed through the PolicyRules property of the FPCSystemPolicy object for the array.

Logging can be enabled or disabled for a system policy rule using the EnableLogging property of the applicable FPCPolicyRule object.

Each system policy rule also belongs to a predefined group of system policy rules that apply to a specific service and can be configured together. Such a group is called a system policy configuration group, which is represented by an FPCSystemPolicyConfigGroup object.

An instance of the FPCSystemPolicyConfigGroup object for a specific configuration group can be created by calling the CreateConfigurationGroupInstance method of the FPCSystemPolicy object for the array.

Some properties of a system policy rule can be modified by modifying the properties of the FPCSystemPolicyConfigGroup object representing the configuration group to which the system policy rule belongs. In particular, the Enabled property of this object can be used to enable or disable a system policy rule.

The FPCSystemPolicy object is accessed through the SystemPolicy property of an FPCArray object.

Inheritance

This object inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

The FPCSystemPolicy object defines the following method.

Method	Description
CreateConfigurationGroupInstance	Creates an instance of the FPCSystemPolicyConfigGroup object for the system policy configuration group requested and returns a reference to it.

Properties

The FPCSystemPolicy object defines the following property.

Property	Description
PolicyRules	Gets the FPCSystemPolicyRules collection of all of the system policy rules for the array.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Recursively reads the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the object.

Interfaces for C++ Programming

This collection implements the IFPCSystemPolicy interface.

Requirements

Client	Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Server	Requires Windows Server 2008.
Version	Requires Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG).
IDL	Declared in Msfpccom.idl.
