Deploying Data Stores to Protectors
In deployment, the data stores containing the policies and trusted applications are prepared to be distributed to the protection points. The protector nodes pull this policy information in the data stores from the ESA to their respective policy enforcement points. Only the policies that are deployed are distributed across the protectors. Deploying a data store also deploys the trusted applications added to that data store.
After you create a data store with the all the required components, you deploy the policy to the nodes:
For more information about Data Stores, refer to section Creating a Data Store.
To deploy the data store:
On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Data Stores.
The list of all the data stores appear.
Select the data store.
The screen to edit the data store appears.
Click Deploy.
A message **Data Store has been deployed successfully** appears.
When the Protector pulls the package that contains a policy added to the data store, it connects to ESA to retrieve the necessary policy information such as members for each role in the policy, token elements, and so on.
