Figure 115: Modify Default Filters
The attributes that are defined for the authentication source show up as attributes in role mapping policy rules editor
under the authorization source namespace. Then, on the Role Mappings Rules Editor page, the Operator values that
display are based on the Data type specified here. If, for example, you modify the Active Directory department to be
an Integer rather than a String, then the list of Operator values will populate with values that are specific to Integers.
This functionality that allows you to modify the Data type exists for Generic SQL DB, Generic LDAP, Active Directory, and
HTTP authentication source types.
When you are finished editing a filter, click Save.
Generic SQL DB
Policy Manager can perform MSCHAPv2 and PAP/GTC authentication against any Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) compliant SQL database, such as, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or PostgrSQL. You specify a stored
procedure to query the relevant tables and retrieve role mapping attributes by using filters.
You configure the primary and backup servers, session details, and the filter query and role mapping attributes to fetch
of Generic SQL authentication sources on the following tabs:
l "General Tab" on page 163
l "Primary Tab" on page 165
l "Attributes Tab" on page 165
For a configured Generic SQLDB authentication source, buttons on the main page enable you to:
l Clear Cache: Clears the attributes cached by Policy Manager for all entities that authorize against this server.
l Copy: Creates a copy of this authentication/authorization source.
General Tab
The General tab labels the authentication source and defines session details, authorization sources, and backup server
details.
