Domain and Policy Management

The Domain and Policy Management module provides centralized control over onboarded applications and their associated access policies. It enables administrators to efficiently manage the full lifecycle of domains and policies, including creation, modification, monitoring, and deletion.

This module ensures that application access remains secure, consistent, and aligned with organizational requirements.

Policy Management

The Policy Page offers multiple tools to manage ZTNA policies effectively:

Search

• Quickly locate specific policies using keywords such as:

  • Policy Name

  • Target Users / Groups

• Improves navigation in environments with large policy sets

Refresh

• Reloads the policy table with the latest data

• Ensures real-time visibility of:

  • Newly created policies

  • Updated configurations

  • Status changes

Download

• Export policy data for:

  • Auditing

  • Reporting

  • Backup purposes

• Typically supports formats like CSV or Excel

View

• Displays detailed information about a selected policy:

  • Policy Name and Description

  • Target Users / Groups

  • Assigned Domain

  • Access Rules (Allow / Deny)

  • Status (Enabled / Disabled)

Edit

• Modify existing policy configurations:

  • Update access rules

  • Change target users/groups

  • Reassign domains

• Changes are applied in real-time (if policy is enabled)

Delete

• Permanently removes a policy from the system

• Once deleted:

  • Access rules are no longer enforced

• Should be used cautiously to avoid unintended access gaps

Policy Lifecycle

1. Create Policy

2. Assign Users / Groups

3. Link to Domain

4. Enable Policy

5. Monitor & Update

6. Disable / Delete when no longer required

Domain Management

The Domain Page provides tools to manage onboarded applications:

Search

• Locate domains using:

  • Domain Name

  • Description

• Useful for managing multiple applications

Refresh

• Reloads the domain list to reflect:

  • Newly onboarded domains

  • Configuration updates

  • Status changes

Download

• Export domain configurations for:

  • Documentation

  • Backup

  • Compliance audits

View

• Displays domain configuration details:

  • Domain Name

  • Port

  • Deployment Type (Cloud / Edge)

  • Upstream & Downstream configuration

  • Health check status

  • Associated policies

Edit

• Modify domain settings such as:

  • Port and routing configuration

  • TLS settings

  • Proxy behavior

• Changes may affect application accessibility

Delete

• Removes the domain from the platform

• Consequences:

  • Application becomes inaccessible via SwiftZAccess

  • Associated policies may become invalid

Domain Lifecycle

1. Onboard Domain

2. Configure Routing & Security

3. Associate Policies

4. Monitor Health & Usage

5. Update Configuration

6. Decommission (Delete)

Relationship Between Domain & Policy

• Domains define what application is accessible

• Policies define who can access it and under what conditions

Both must be correctly configured for successful access.

Key Benefits

• Centralized management of applications and access control

• Improved visibility and governance

• Simplified administration through unified interface

• Enhanced security through controlled access lifecycle

The Domain and Policy Management module enables administrators to efficiently manage application access from onboarding to decommissioning. With powerful features like search, edit, export, and real-time updates, it ensures a secure, scalable, and well-governed access control environment.
