VERSION INFO
Exinda Management Center 1.5.0 does not support policies for HTTP Redirect or HTTP Response.
When you create policies, they are added to the Policies Library. If you amend a policy definition, any changes made to it
affect all Virtual Circuits that use that policy. To learn how circuits, virtual circuits, policy sets, and policy rules work
together, see
Policy Tree

Where do I find policy rules?
Policy library items can be found in Library > Policies .
Also, the policies linked to appliances can also be found in the policy trees for each appliance group. Go to the desired
appliance group's
