You can delete an existing policy using the Rights Management
Java API or web service API. After a policy is deleted, it can no
longer be used to protect documents. However, existing policy-protected
documents that are using the policy are still protected. You can
delete a policy when a newer one becomes available.
Summary of stepsTo delete an existing policy, perform
the following steps:
Include project files
Create a Rights Management Client API object.
Delete the policy.
Include project filesInclude necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application using Java, then
include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services,
then make sure that you include the proxy files.
Create a Rights Management Client API objectBefore you can programmatically
perform a Rights Management service operation, you must create a
Rights Management service client object. If you are using the Java
API, create a RightsManagementClient object. If
you are using the Rights Management web service API, create a RightsManagementServiceService object.
Delete the policyTo delete a policy, you specify the policy
to delete and the policy set to which the policy belongs. The user
whose settings are used to invoke LiveCycle must have permission
to delete the policy; otherwise an exception occurs. Likewise, if
you attempt to delete a policy that does not exist, an exception occurs.
Delete policies using the Java APIDelete a policy by using the Rights Management API (Java):
Include project files.
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-rightsmanagement-client.jar, in your Java project’s
class path.
Create a Rights Management Client API object.
Delete the policy.
Create a PolicyManager object
by invoking the RightsManagementClient object’s getPolicyManager method.
Delete the policy by invoking the PolicyManager object’s deletePolicy method
and passing the following values:
A string value that
specifies the policy set name to which the policy belongs. You can
specify null that results in the MyPolicies policy set
being used.
A string value that specifies the name of the policy to delete.
Delete policies using the web service APIDelete a policy by using the Rights Management API (web
service):
Include project files.
Create a Microsoft .NET
project that uses MTOM. Ensure that you use the following WSDL definition: http://localhost:8080/soap/services/RightsManagementService?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1.
Note: Replace localhost with the IP
address of the server hosting LiveCycle.
Create a Rights Management Client API object.
Create a RightsManagementServiceClient object
by using its default constructor.
Create a RightsManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object by
using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor.
Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the LiveCycle service (for example, http://localhost:8080/soap/services/RightsManagementService?WSDL.)
You do not need to use the lc_version attribute. This
attribute is used when you create a service reference.)
Create a System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object
by getting the value of the RightsManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Binding field. Cast
the return value to BasicHttpBinding.
Set the System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object’s MessageEncoding field
to WSMessageEncoding.Mtom. This value ensures that
MTOM is used.
Enable basic HTTP authentication by performing the following
tasks:
Assign the LiveCycle user name to the
field RightsManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName.
Assign the corresponding password value to the field RightsManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password.
Assign the constant value HttpClientCredentialType.Basic to the
field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Transport.ClientCredentialType.
Assign the constant value BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Security.Mode.
Delete the policy.
Delete a policy by invoking the RightsManagementServiceClient object’s deletePolicy method
and passing the following values:
A string value that
specifies the policy set name to which the policy belongs. You can
specify null that results in the MyPolicies policy
set being used.
A string value that specifies the name of the policy to delete.
