Policy Priority
Global Policy, Authentication Policy and User Policy
The HSG supports multiple Policies, including one
Global Policy
and 5 individual
Policies
can be assigned to
different
Authentication Server
.
Global Policy
is the system’s universal policy and is applied to all clients, while
other individual Policies can be selected and defined to be applied to any Authentication Server. For some
authentication, such as Local and RADIUS, users can be assigned to different Policies individually. One user may
be applied to a different policy at the same time. Which policy is actually applied to this user?
The Policy Priority is enforced as follows:
User Policy >> Authentication Policy >> Global Policy
Now, let us discuss the different user policy types:
For Local and RADIUS, users can be assigned to different policies individually. For example, a Local user,
user01, is assigned to Policy1 and the Local Authentication Policy2. When user01 logs in to Public Zone,
user01 will be governed under Policy1. This is a common case for users that can be assigned a Policy
individually.
For Local and RADIUS, if these users are not assigned under any User Policy individually, they will be
governed under the same policy as others within the same authentication server. For example, if the Local
Authentication is assigned to Policy3, a Local user01 when logged in to Public Zone will get Policy3. This is
another common case for users that are assigned Policy by the authentication server.
If a User is not assigned a Policy individually and the authentication server is also not assigned a Policy, then
the Global Policy will be applied to all users. For example, a Local user, user01, is assigned to
None
Policy
and the Local Authentication is also assigned to
None Policy
on User list. Then user01 logged in to Public
Zone will be applied with the Global Policy.
In conclusion, the Global Policy has the lowest policy priority; the User Policy has the highest priority.
