PingID Administration Guide

Viewing and reordering authentication policies

View, reorder, and edit the list of existing authentication policies or rules within a policy.

About this task

PingID executes policies in the order in which they are listed. The order in which the policies are listed is significant. For example, if an application is included in more than one policy, only the first policy in the list is executed and applied when a user attempts to access the application.

If a policy includes more than one rule, the order in which the rules are listed within the policy is also important. Policy rules are executed in the order in which they are listed, and after a rule’s conditions are met, subsequent rules listed are not evaluated.

You can change the order in which both policies and the rules within a policy are listed.

If more than one policy exists for an application or user group, the policies are applied in the order that they appear in the policy list as outlined in the policy rules.
