Type In this context, HTTP.
Use for
Authorization
This check box instructs 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 this setting is enabled).
This check box is enabled by default.
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,” 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.
Backup Servers To add a backup server, click Add Backup. When 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.
