Field Description Usage tips
Status path The Status path identifies the path from where
the VCS can obtain the status of the remote
service.
The default is status.
The policy server must supply return status
information, see Policy server status and
resiliency [p.338].
Username The username used by the VCS to log in and
query the service.
Password The password used by the VCS to log in and
query the service.
The maximum plaintext length is 30
characters (which is subsequently
encrypted).
Default CPL This is the fallback CPL used by the VCS if the
service is not available.
You can change it, for example, to redirect
to an answer service or recorded
message.
For more information, see Default CPL for
policy services [p.492].
4. Click Create policy service.
Configuring a search rule to direct a search to the policy service
1. Go to Configuration > Dial plan > Search rules.
2. Click New.
3. Configure the fields on the Create search rule page as appropriate for the searches you want to direct to
the external policy server.
This example shows how to divert calls to aliases ending in .meet to the external policy server:
Rule name A short name that describes the rule.
Description A free-form description of the rule.
Priority As required, for example 10.
Protocol As required, for example Any.
Source As required, for example Any.
Request must be
authenticated
Configure this setting according to your authentication policy.
Mode As required, for example Alias pattern match.
Pattern type As required, for example Regex.
Pattern string As required, for example.*\.meet@example.com
Pattern behavior As required, for example Leave.
On successful match As required.
Note that if Stop is selected the VCS will not process any further search rules for
the original alias, but will restart the full call processing sequence if any new
aliases are returned in the CPL.
Target Select the policy service that was created in the previous step.
