# setPolicies(_:)

Specifies the policies to use when evaluating this certificate’s status.

## Declaration

```swift
func setPolicies(_ policies: Any!)
```

## Parameters

- `policies`: The policy or policies to use. You can pass either a SecPolicyRef object or an NSArray (containing one or more objects of type SecPolicyRef ) in this parameter. If policies is set to nil, the Apple X.509 Basic Policy is used. See doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Security/certificate-key-and-trust-services for a list of policies and object identifiers provided by the AppleX509TP module.

## Discussion

Discussion Applications typically display a certificate view in the context of a specific use, such as SSL or S/MIME. You should set only the policy references that apply to your intended use.
