2.Location:All Locations:ManagementCenter1:Customer 1

The administrator can configure multiple values for management hierarchy. The syntax for multiple value attribute is:

<HierarchyName>: <HierarchyRoot>:<Value><Value>…

Example:

Location:All Locations:ManagementCenter1:Customer1ManagementCenter1:Customer2

Configuring and Using UserIsInManagement Hierarchy Attribute

To configure and use UserIsInManagementHierarchy attribute, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Create ManagementHierarchy and UserIsInManagementHierarchy attributes for internal users. See Configuring Internal Identity Attributes, page 18-11.

Step 2 Create the Network Device Groups for the network devices and AAA clients with the required hierarchies. See Creating, Duplicating, and Editing Network Devices, page 7-10.

Step 3 Create Network Devices and AAA clients and associate them with a Network Device Group. See Creating, Duplicating, and Editing Network Devices, page 7-10.

Step 4 Create Internal Users and configure the ManagementHierarchy attribute. See Creating Internal Users, page 8-11.

Step 5 Choose Access Policies > Access Services > Default Network Access > Authorization.

The Authorization page appears.

Step 6 Click Customize, add the Compound Condition to the policy conditions, and click OK. Step 7 Click Create to create a new policy and do the following:

a.Enter an appropriate name for the policy and set the status.

b.In the Conditions section, check the Compound Condition check box.

c.Select Internal users from the dictionary drop down list.

d.Select UserIsInManagementHierarchy attribute from the available attribute list.

e.Select Static value and enter True as a condition for the rule to be matched.

f.Click Add to add this compound condition to the policy.

g.Choose the policy result for the rule and click OK.

See Configuring a Session Authorization Policy for Network Access, page 10-29for more information on creating a authorization policy for network access.

Step 8 After successfully creating the policy, try authenticating the user using the created policy. The user will be authenticated only if the hierarchy defined for the user equals or contained in the AAA clients hierarchy. You can view the logs to analyze the authentication results.
