#### 6.8.5 Policy Domain Managers

You have two ways to register the reference to the CORBA Policy Domain Manager the application will use:

- Setting up the `policy_domain_manager` entry in the `[corba]` section in your configuration file, `policy_domain_manager` is the `IOR` or `corbaloc` of the COS Naming server to use. See Using a configuration file for more details.
- Registering an initial reference using the `-ORB InitRef PolyORBPolicyDomainManager=<IOR>` or `-ORB InitRef PolyORBPolicyDomainManager=<corbaloc>` command-line argument. See the CORBA specifications for more details.
- Registering an initial reference for `PolyORBPolicyDomainManager` using the `CORBA.ORB.Register_Initial_Reference` function. See the CORBA specifications for more details.
