  14. With ContactManager still running, click Fetch .
  15. When the update finishes, stop the PolicyCenter server if it is running, and then restart it to pick up this change.
  16. Log in to PolicyCenter as a user with permission to search for and change contacts, such as user name aapplegate with password gw.
  17. Verify that you can use the Contact tab to search for ContactManager contacts. You can be sure that a contact is stored in ContactManager if its External field has the value Yes. For example, search for the person Adam Hinds, a client contact in the ContactManager sample data.
