Note

This guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of Unix or Linux system administration and some experience with a scripting or other computer language. We recommend that you have experience in these areas before you attempt to create or modify security policy files.

Sample policy files

When you receive the EPM-UL install media, there are sample EPM-UL policy files in the /examples folder. These sample policy files include detailed explanations of what they do. You can use these files to learn how policy files are typically written for various scenarios. A readme_samples text file in that directory includes a brief description of each sample file.
