How to use global database webfilters in ADOMs?

Hi there.

Anybody can help understanding how to use the global database for webfilter profiles?

I want to have some sort of "repository" in the global database, where I store my different webfilter profiles. Then I'd like to be able to pick/use them in the policy packages in each individual ADOM.

Is this possible? If so, how?

 

Thanks,

Flavio.

    Tested in FMG 6.0.4, 3 ADOM's: root (6.0), test (6.0), Global Database (6.0)

     

    - Create profile in Global Database

    - Go to Policy Packages -> Assignment (might need to add it via 'Tools > Display Options')

    - Add ADOM -> Status will be 'Pending Changes' (in our case, might be due to Workflow-mode)

    - Choose desired assignment, we went for 'Assign ALL Objects'

    - Profit from Global Database profiles in all assigned ADOM's

    You have to Assign a global policy package.  Click on "Assign Selected" and check the "Assign all objects" option to copy profiles to the target ADOMs.

    Hi.

    This is not working, or at least not like I'd wish it to work.

    I would like to only copy the objects (wf profiles, for example). It does not work, unless I create some header and/or footer policies which use the objects I want to have in the ADOMs.

    Or do you know a trick to achieve my goal without those annoying footer/header policies?

     

    Also: when a global object is pushed into an ADOM, it is editable in that ADOM - which is completely agains the concept of using global objects!

    I think that to do what you need you have to use mapping objects.
