Deploying a Trusted Application
Deploying a trusted application consists of the following two states:
Making the Trusted Application ready for deployment
The following procedure describes the steps to make a trusted application ready for deployment.
After you link data stores to your trusted application, it is ready to be deployed to the protector nodes.
To make a trusted application ready for deployment:
On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Policies & Trusted Applications > Trusted Applications.
The list of all the trusted applications appear.
Select the required trusted application.
The screen to edit the trusted application appears.
Click Ready to Deploy.
A message Trusted Application has been marked ready to deploy appears.
The Deploy action is active.
Deploying the Trusted Application
The following procedure describes the steps to deploy the trusted application.
You deploy the policy to the data store after the trusted application is ready for deployment. If no data stores are linked with the trusted application, then the deployment of the trusted application fails.
To deploy the trusted application:
On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Policies & Trusted Applications > Trusted Applications.
The list of all the trusted applications appear.
Select the required application that is in the ready to deploy state.
The screen to edit the trusted application appears.
Click Deploy.
A message Trusted application has been successfully deployed appears.
During deployment, the Application Protector validates the trusted application. If the validation fails, then the Protector generates an audit entry with the detailed information.
You can also deploy the trusted application by deploying the data store. In this case, all the policies and trusted applications that are linked to the data store are prepared to be distributed to the protection points.
For more information about deploying a data store, refer to Deploying Data Stores to Protectors.
