Description

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.

Authorization Profile

 

Displays the authorization profile that will be applied when the corresponding rule is matched.

 

 

When you enable the Security Group Access feature, you can customize rule results; a rule can

 

 

determine the access permission of an endpoint, the security group of that endpoint, or both. The

 

 

columns that appear reflect the customization settings.

 

 

 

Hit Count

 

The number of times that the rule is matched. Click the Hit Count button to refresh and reset this

 

 

column.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

When you enable the Security Group Access feature, you can also choose the set of rule results; only

 

 

session authorization profiles, only security groups, or both.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
