This article describes how to configure a policy in a timestamp service in Nexus Timestamp Server.

A policy defines rules to select how to process the timestamp request.

A policy is the concept used for mapping timestamp requests to filter chains. Mapping is the task of matching request parameters (real or derived) with attributes of the policy. The policy mapper can match any parameter in the context using regular expressions.
