2. In the Role drop-down list, choose the XML-RPC Operator role you created.
3. Complete the rest of the fields appropriately, then click Add. The new XML-RPC operator is added the Local

Creating the Translation Rule
After you have created the profile, role, and local user (operator), create a translation rule to map the role name
to the operator profile.
1. In W-ClearPass Guest, go to Administration >Operator Logins > Translation Rules and click the
Create new translation rule link. The Edit Translation Rule form opens.
2. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the translation rule. In the example shown above, the
translation rule is to check that the operator is an XML-RPC user, hence the name MatchXML-RPC.
3. Mark the Enabled check box to enable this rule after you create it. If you do not select this check box, the
rule you create will appear in the rules list, but will not be active until you enable it.
4. In the Matching Rule drop-down list, select equals.
5. In the Value field, enter the name of the XML-RPC Operator role you defined.
6. In the On Match drop-down list, select Assign fixed operator profile. The form expands to include the
Operator Profile row.
7. In the Operator Profile drop-down list, select the XML-RPC profile.
8. If you want to use multiple translation rules, select the Fallthrough check box.
9. Click Save Changes.
The user you created can now use the XML-RPC API functions.
