Configure a Rule for Authentication Event Actions

You 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. Ensure that Process Authentication Events is selected in the Advanced group box of the Realm pane.

To create a rule

1. Click Policies, Domains.
2. Click Rule, Create Rule.

   The Create Rule: Select Domain pane opens.

3. Select a domain from the Domain list, and click Next.

   The Create Rule: Select Realm pane opens.

4. Select the realm that includes the resources that you want the rule to protect, and click Next.

   The Create Rule: Define Rule pane opens.

   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 in the fields on the General group box.

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

6. Select the Authentication events radio button in the Action group box.

   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 from the Action List.
8. (Optional) Set time restrictions and or active rule settings in the Advanced group box.
9. Click Finish.

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