CreateIPConfigSubnetMask Method—Creates an IP Configuration Object for the Service Provider

The CreateIPConfigSubnetMask method creates an IP configuration object for the Service Provider, based on the specified IP address and subnet mask.

Syntax

The CreateIPConfigSubnetMask method has the following format:

Netegrity::PolicyMgtSAMLServiceProvider‑>CreateIPConfigSubnetMask(ipAddr, subnetMask)

Parameters

The CreateIPConfigSubnetMask method accepts the following parameters:

ipAddr (string)

Specifies the IP address used to derive the subnet address.

subnetMask (unsigned long)

Specifies the subnet mask used to derive the subnet address.

Return Value

The CreateIPConfigSubnetMask method returns one of the following values:

• A PolicyMgtIPConfig object
• undef if the call is unsuccessful

Remarks

This method creates an IP address restriction for the assertion generation policy. With this address restriction, only assertions generated from the subnet address will be accepted. The subnet address is derived from the passed IP address and subnet mask. For information about defining the subnet mask value, see the description of the PolicyMgtPolicy‑>CreateIPConfigSubnetMask method.
