authorization policy

The following operations can be performed on "authorization policy":

add| rm| set| rename| show

add authorization policy

Creates an authorization policy. Authorization policies allow AAA users and AAA groups to access resources through SSL VPN/AAA-TM enabled virtual servers.

Synopsys

add authorization policy <name> <rule> <action>

Arguments

name

Name for the new authorization policy.

Must begin with a letter, number, or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), space ( ), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore characters. Cannot be changed after the authorization policy is added.

applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI:

If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, "my authorization policy" or 'my authorization policy').

rule

Name of the Citrix ADC named rule, or an expression, that the policy uses to perform the authentication.

action

Action to perform if the policy matches: either allow or deny the request.

Example

Example: Consider the following authorization policy, "author-policy",

add authorization policy author-policy "URL == /*.gif" DENY
bind aaa user foo -policy author-policy

If the user "foo" now logs in through the SSL VPN and makes any other request except "gif", the rule will be evaluated to FALSE, and the negetion of DENY, i.e. ALLOW, will be applied. So all those resource will implicitly be allowed to access. If "foo" tries to accesss "abc.gif" this access will be denied.
