Custodians. When a Custodian contacts the Policy Manager, either when it registers or based on
its defined ping rate, that Custodian receives any current or updated policy settings or accepted
or denied requests. At the same time, the Custodian sends the Policy Manager its action requests
and its list of supported actions.
