  2. After you click Test, all of the XML between the <content></content> tags, including content the tags themselves, is provided in the XML dialog box.
  3. Copy then paste this XML code into your favorite text editor, and save the file as metadata_security.xml in a location of your choice.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  5. Click the File tab in the Security Service dialog box.
  6. Browse to the file that you just saved.
  7. Click OK to exit the dialog box.
