To modify client connection policies, submit a request through the service request form, accessible from the Support & Community page.
Client connection policies specify criteria for membership based on information about the client connection, including client address, protocol, communication security, and authentication state and identity. The client connection policy, however, does not control membership based on the type of request being made.
Client connection policies are based on two things:
- Connection criteria: Connection criteria is used by the client connection policies, but it is also used when the server needs to match connection-level properties, such as filtered logging. A single connection can match multiple connection criteria definitions.
- Evaluation order index: If multiple client connection
policies are defined in the server, then each of them must have a unique
value for the evaluation-order-index property. Client connection policies
are evaluated in order of ascending evaluation order index. If a client
connection does not match the criteria for any defined client connection
policy, that connection is terminated.
If the connection policy matches a connection, the connection is assigned to that policy and no further evaluation occurs. If, after evaluating all of the defined client connection policies, no match is found, the connection is terminated.
For additional information, refer to Configuring client connection policies in the PingDirectory Server Administration Guide.
