Creating GuardPoints

This section describes steps to protect create GuardPoints using the CTE APIs.

To create a GuardPoint:

1. Create keys (non-versioned and/or versioned keys) required for your policy. Standard policies require one key. Refer to Creating Keys for details.

2. Create a policy with the key created in the previous step. Refer to Creating Policies for details.

3. Create a GuardPoint using the policy.

Refer to the following sections for the API and sample for creating a GuardPoint. Also, for creating GuardPoints for supported CTE capabilities, refer to GuardPoint Features.

API

    "guard_paths": [
        <GuardPath_Name>

        "guard_point_type": "directory_auto"/"directory_manual",
        "policy_id": <policy_name>
    }

Refer to Creating Policies for information on creating GuardPoints for different policy types.
