Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Technical Overview

Conditions

A condition specifies additional constraints that must be satisfied for a policy be applicable. For example, you can define a condition to limit a user’s network access to a specific time period. The condition might state that the subject can access the network only between 7:00 in the morning and 10:00 at night. OpenSSO Enterprise allows for the following list of conditions.

Active Session Time

Sets a condition based on constraints configured for user session time such as maximum session time.

Authentication Chain

The policy is applicable if the user has successfully authenticated to the authentication chain in the specified realm. If the realm is not specified, authentication to any realm at the authentication chain will satisfy the condition.

Authentication Level

The Authentication Level attribute indicates the level of trust for authentication. The policy is applicable if the user's authentication level is greater than or equal to the Authentication Level set in the condition, or if the user's authentication level is less than or equal to the Authentication Level set in the condition, depending on the configuration.

Authentication Module Instance

The policy applies if the user has successfully authenticated to the authentication module in the specified realm. If the realm is not specified, authentication to any realm at the authentication module will satisfy the condition.

IP Address/DNS Names

Sets a condition based on a range of IP Addresses, or a DNS name.

Current Session Properties

Decides whether a policy is applicable to the request based on values set in the user's OpenSSO Enterprise session.

LDAP Filter Condition

The policy is applicable when the defined LDAP filter locates the user entry in the LDAP directory that was specified in the Policy Configuration service.

Realm Authentication

The policy applies if the user has authenticated to the specified realm.

Time

Sets the condition based on time constraints (time, day, date, time zone).
