Parameter Description
Use for
Authorization
Enable this option to request Policy Manager to fetch role mapping attributes (or authorization
attributes) from this authentication source. If a user or device successfully authenticates against
this authentication source, then Policy Manager also fetches role mapping attributes from the
same source if the Use for Authorization field is enabled. This check box is enabled by default.
Authorization
Sources
Specify additional sources from which to fetch role mapping attributes. Select a previously
configured authentication source from the drop-down list and click Add to add it to the list of
authorization sources. Click Remove to remove the selected additional resource from the list.
If Policy Manager authenticates the user or device from this authentication source, then also
fetches role mapping attributes from these additional authorization sources.
NOTE: As described in Services on page 87, you can specify additional authorization sources at
the service level. Policy Manager fetches role mapping attributes irrespective of which
authentication source the user or device was authenticated against.
Backup
Servers
To add a backup server, click Add Backup. From the Backup 1 tab, you can specify connection
details for a backup server (same fields applicable for primary server specified below).
To remove a backup server, select the server name and click Remove. Select Move Up or Move
Down to change the server priority of the backup servers. This is the order in which Policy
Manager attempts to connect to the backup servers.
