PingAccess

Adding rule sets

Add a new rule set in PingAccess.

Steps

  1. Click Access, then go to Rules > Rule Sets.

  2. Click Add Rule Set.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the rule set.

    Special characters and spaces are allowed.

  4. In the Success Criteria section, select one of the following options:

    All

    Requires all rules in the set to succeed.

    When Success Criteria is set to All, the first rule in the set that fails establishes the error handling.
    Any

    Requires only one of the rules in the set to succeed.

    If there are any processing rules in the rule set, PingAccess flags those rules with a tooltip warning that PingAccess won’t process additional rules if the first rule in the set succeeds.

    This is because when Success Criteria is set to Any for a rule set, the first processing rule that succeeds causes PingAccess not to evaluate all other rules in the set.

    If you want to use processing rules on protected applications and handle access control decisions using Any criteria, assign processing rules directly to the application or create a separate rule set for the processing rule sets that uses All criteria.

  5. Add one or more rules to the rule set you’re creating:
