Description

Global Rules

A global rule is a Policy Server object that specifies a filter used to apply a global policy to a large group of resources.

Global Responses

A global response is a Policy Server object that determines a reaction to a global rule. Global responses are included in global policies, and take place when a global rule is triggered.

Global Policies

A global policy is a Policy Server object that binds users, global rules, global responses, and optionally, time restrictions and IP address restrictions together. When a user attempts to access a resource, the global policy is what SiteMinder ultimately uses to resolve the request.
