Option

Description

 

 

 

 

Policy type

Defines the type of policy to configure:

 

 

 

Simple—Specifies the results to apply to all requests.

 

 

 

Rule-based—Configure rules to apply different results depending on the request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution If you switch between policy types, you will lose your previously saved policy

 

 

 

 

 

configuration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Status

Current status of the rule. The rule statuses are:

 

Enabled—The rule is active.

Disabled—ACS does not apply the results of the rule.

Monitor—The rule is active, but ACS does not apply the results of the rule. Results such as hit count are written to the log, and the log entry includes an identification that the rule is monitor only. The monitor option is especially useful for watching the results of a new rule.

Name

 

Rule name.

 

 

Conditions

Conditions that determine the scope of the policy. This column displays all current conditions in

Default Rule

ACS applies the Default rule when:

 

 

Enabled rules are not matched.

 

 

No other rules are defined.

 

 

Click the link to edit the Default Rule. You can edit only the results of the Default Rule; you cannot

 

 

delete, disable, or duplicate it.

 

 

Customize button

Opens the Customize page in which you choose the types of conditions to use in policy rules. A new

 

 

Conditions column appears in the Policy page for each condition that you add.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution If you remove a condition type after defining rules, you will lose any conditions that you

 

 

 

 

configured for that condition type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hit Count button

Opens a window that enables you to reset and refresh the Hit Count display in the Policy page. See

 

 

Displaying Hit Counts, page 10-10.

 

 

Step 2

Select an identity group.

Step 3

Click Save Changes to save the policy.
