Parameter Description
Authorization
Sources
You can 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 it from
the list.
If Policy Manager authenticates the user or device from this authentication source,
then it also fetches role mapping attributes from these additional authorization
sources.
NOTE: As described in "Services" on page 87, additional authorization sources can
be specified at the Service level. Policy Manager fetches role mapping attributes
regardless of which authentication source the user or device was authenticated
against.
Server Timeout The number of seconds that Policy Manager waits before considering this server
unreachable. If multiple backup servers are available, then this value indicates the
number of seconds that Policy Manager waits before attempting to fail over from the
primary to the backup servers in the order in which they are configured.
Cache Timeout Policy Manager caches attributes fetched for an authenticating entity. This parameter
controls the number of seconds for which the attributes are cached.
Backup Servers
Priority
To add a backup server, click Add Backup. If the Backup 1 tab appears, you can
specify connection details for a backup server (same fields as 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 if the
primary server is unreachable.
