Configure a Rule for Authentication Event Actions

You can configure a rule for authentication event actions to control actions that occur when users authenticate to gain access to a resource.

The realm in which the rule is to be created must be able to process authentication events. Verify that the Process Authentication Events option is selected.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Policies, Domain, Rules.
2. Click Create Rule.
3. Select a domain from the list, and click Next.
4. Select the realm that includes the resources that you want the rule to protect, and click Next.

   Note: If a realm does not exist for the resources that you want to protect, a rule cannot be created to protect those resources.

5. Type the name and a description of the rule.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

6. Select Authentication events.

   The Action List populates with authentication events.

   Note: The Resource field is disabled because an authentication event applies to the entire realm. The Allow Access and Deny Access options are also disabled as they do not apply to authentication events.

7. Select one or more authentication events.
8. (Optional) In Advanced, set time restrictions and or active rule settings.
9. Click Finish.

   The rule is saved and applied to the specified realm and resource.
