Create a Solace ACL Profile

This article will guide you through the process of creating a Solace ACL Profile.

Access control lists (ACL) manage client access to event brokers. There are three types of ACLs:

• Connect ACLs control which clients are allowed to connect to the event broker.
• Subscriber ACLs control which topics a client is allowed to subscribe to.
• Publisher ACLs control which topics a client is allowed to publish to.

Before creating the ACL Profile, you must establish a Solace Manager connection. To learn how, click on Create Remote Solace Manager Connection.

You can create a Solace ACL Profile by following these steps:

1. Open the Solace ACL Profile viewlet, click the Add button  . 
2. The Select Object Path window will open. Specify the Workgroup server, Node, Broker, and Message VPN then click Select path.
   By default, all available Workgroup servers, Nodes, Brokers, and Message VPNs are selected. If you want to limit the selection, you must explicitly choose which ones to include.
3. The Solace ACL Profile Create Window will open. Enter the ACL Profile Name (required) and select the actions with Allow or Disallow from dropdown.
   
4. Click Ok to create the ACL Profile immediately. Alternatively, click Schedule to create it at a future time (see Scheduling for details).
5. Now, go to the ACL Profile viewlet to see the newly added object. If you can't find it, refresh the viewlet using the Refresh icon.
