Testing the authorization handler

To test the external authorization handler, you can create a policy that uses it. For example, if you create a policy that uses the external authorization handler created in this section and apply the policy to a document, you are then only able to print the document once. That is, once you print the policy-protected document, the print menu option is not enabled.

Note: After the document is printed, the print permission is removed provided that the PDF document is closed and then opened again.

After you create a policy that uses the external authorization handler, you can secure a PDF document with the policy. (See Applying Policies to PDF Documents.)

PDF document that are secured with a policy that contains an external authorization handler can no longer be opened when the external authorization handler is stopped or uninstalled. When attempting to open the PDF document, you will receive an error message and the PDF document is not opened. You can open the PDF document by restarting the external authorization handler (or reinstalling and then starting it).

To create a policy that uses the external authorization handler:

1.	Deploy the external authorization handler’s JAR file using Workbench ES. (See Deploying your component.)

2.	Restart the application server.

3.	Log in to LiveCycle Administration Console.

4.	Click Services > LiveCycle Rights Management ES > Policies.

5.	Click on a given policy set.

6.	Click the Policies tab and click New.

7.	In the Name field, specify a name for the policy.

8.	In the External Authorization Providers section, click PrintControlSPISample.

9.	Click Save. A green check mark will appear next to the PrintControlSPISample item indicating that it is active.

10.	Finish creating the policy and save it.

Note: After you create a policy that uses the external authorization handler, you can protect a PDF document with the policy. (See Applying Policies to PDF Documents.)
