Create a policy configuration

POST /nevisidm/api/core/v1/:clientExtId/policies

Since: 2.79.0

Required permission(s): AccessControl.PolicyCreate

Creates a new policy configuration for the specified client.

The policyType field is required and determines what kind of policy is created (e.g. PwdPolicy, CertificatePolicy, ClientPolicy). If no external ID is provided, one is auto-generated.

For password-type policies, parameter consistency is validated (e.g. maxLength must not be lower than minLength or the sum of minimum character type requirements).

Only one ClientPolicy is allowed per client. Attempting to create a second one will result in an error.
