General information about the condition is provided in the following table.
Condition | Entity: Entity is Member of Pattern Bucket for First Time in Certain Time Period |
---|---|
Description |
This condition determine whether this entity is member of a pattern bucket for the first time in a certain time period. First time is a relative function. So if you want to track the first time for the membership, then in rule configuration use "Years" as the "Time period type for bucket membership" and specify a long time such as 5 years or so for the "Time period for bucket membership." This pattern operates on first class entities such as user, device, IP, city, state, and country. |
Prerequisites |
An authentication transaction type pattern has been created with a first class entity member type defined. This pattern operates on first class entities such as user, device, IP, city, state, country. |
Assumptions |
Autolearning is enabled. |

This condition could potentially be used to determine if the user is logging in from a different device or different devices and to challenge him when it is the case.
General information about the condition is provided in the following table.
Condition | Device: Excessive Use |
---|---|
Description |
Checks to see if this device is used excessively. Basically, checks to see if a device was not active for several days and suddenly a large number of users are logging in from the same device in a short period (in a few hours).

Condition | Device: Velocity from Last Successful Login |
---|---|
Description |
Condition evaluates if the user's velocity in miles per hour is more than the specified value. The location database is used to determine the location of the user for this login and previous login. It takes into account the current session as well. Note that the velocity calculation is dependent on the accuracy of the location data. |
Prerequisites |
This rule is configured through a policy. Location database should be loaded for the rule. |
Assumptions |
Location database is loaded. |
Available since version |
10.1.4.5 |
Checkpoints |
All checkpoints. |
The following table summarizes the parameters in the condition.
Parameter | Description | Possible Values | Can be Null? |
---|---|---|---|
milesPerHour |
Positive number that indicates the user's speed in miles per hour. If the condition determines that the user has traveled faster than this value, then condition will evaluate to |
positive integer (default is 60) |
No |
sinceSeconds |
Positive integer that specifies the time difference between this login and last successful login to calculate user's velocity. |
positive integer (default is 172800 which is 48 hours) |
No |
Exclude IP List |
This parameter allows you to specify a list of IPs to ignore. If a user's IP is from that list, then this condition always evaluates to false. If the user's IP is not in that list or if the list is null or empty, then the condition evaluates the velocity of the user or the device from the last login and evaluates to true if the velocity exceeds the configured value. |
This condition can be used to determine the users' location and the risk it poses because of changes in the user's login location between the time of the current login and the last successful login.
Examples are shown below:
For a case with a user traveling by ground transportation, you can configure this rule so that 60 is the value for miles per hour and the time is in seconds for the last successful login (use default values).
Another case involves users traveling on air transport. You can use different values (for example, 500 miles an hour) to ensure that login locations and speed are within reason.
Note:
Be aware that the velocity calculation depends highly on location databases.

General information about the condition is provided in the following table.
Condition | Session: Check Param Value |
---|---|
Description |
Check to see whether the specified parameter value is above the given threshold. This condition can be used to determine whether the value of a particular parameter in the transaction is above some known threshold and then action can be taken accordingly. Basically provided a mathematical function for integrators. This will be very useful in native integration. |
Prerequisites |
None for condition as such. But you must have rule configured with this condition to experience the behavior. |
Assumptions |

All Checkpoints. |
The following table summarizes the parameters in the condition.
Parameter | Description | Possible Values | Can be Null? |
---|---|---|---|
Is |
If the "Is" is true and the value is above the threshold provided then condition evaluates to true. If the "Is" is false and the value is below the threshold provided then condition evaluates to true. |
[True] / False |
No |
ValueKey |
The "key" or the look up name of the parameter in the transaction. For example if the transaction is purchase and the name of the attribute is "creditcard" and whose value at Checkpoint is going to be populated by users credit card, then key is "creditcard" in this case. If key is null then defaultError return value is the result of the condition. |
Yes |
|
ValueAbove |
This is basically the threshold value. This can be used to see if the time is greater than the time parameter present in the transaction. It accepts string representations of long values. Note: If you want to create a rule that uses a decimal value, use the condition Session: Check string param value. |
Long values |
Yes |
Use this condition when you want to determine whether the value of a particular attribute of the transaction exceeds some threshold.
For example, you configured a transaction called purchase want to trigger a rule whenever the customer purchase exceeds $1000 Mark.
For accomplish this, you must use this rule with this condition.
Configure the "ValueKey" of your transaction to "purchase.orderTotal" assuming that you have such an attribute in your transaction.
Configure "ValueAbove" to "1000". Configure an alert that says "Too Big Purchase."
Process a transaction by providing a few total value numbers above 1000 and a few below 1000.
Verify that for the ones above 1000 the rule is triggered.
General information about the condition is provided in the following table.
Condition | Session: Check Param Value in Group |
---|---|
Description |
Checks to see if specified parameter value matches the regular expression and the group identified by the expression matcher is in the list of strings. Regular expression matching is not sensitive to case (uppercase and lowercase letters are treated same) |
Prerequisites |
None for condition as such, but you must have a rule configured with this condition for it to work. |
Assumptions |
|
Available since version |
10.1.4.5 |
Checkpoints |
All checkpoints. |
The following table summarizes the parameters in the condition.
Parameter | Description | Possible Value | Can be Null |
---|---|---|---|
Is |
If the "Is" is true and the key's value matches the regular expression and the first group string found by the regex matcher is in the string group, then the condition evaluates to "true." |
[True] / False |
Yes |
Parameter Key |
The "key" or the look up name of the parameter in the transaction. For example, if the transaction is "internet banking" and the name of the attribute is "bankName" and its value at checkpoint is to be populated by users, then key is "Transaction.bankName" in this case. You should be able to find this key in the Internal ID column in the Transaction Source Data tab in transaction details. If the key is null, then defaultReturnValue is the result of the condition. |
Yes |
|
Regular Expression |
The character pattern with which you want to match the "value" which has its look up name given by "Parameter Key". In same banking example, if you want to determine whether the bankName equals "SomeBank," you should define this pattern in the policy/rule as "(SomeBank)" without the quotation marks. If the regular expression is null, then defaultReturnValue is the result of the condition. |
Yes |
|
In list |
The condition checks to see if the character group obtained by the regular expression matcher belongs to this string group. If the list name is null or if the list specified by the name is empty, then defaultReturnValue is the result of the condition. |
Yes |
|
Default Return value |
If there is any error or if the condition cannot be evaluated because of insufficient data, then return (evaluate to) this value. If this value is not specified (null) then "False" is assumed. |
[False] / True |
Yes |
Use this condition when you want to determine whether some part of the value of a particular attribute of the transaction matches some character pattern, and to see if this part of the value is present in the pre-determined group of strings.
For example, you have configured a transaction called internet banking and you want to trigger a rule if the bank name is "bank1" or "bank2."
To achieve this, you must use this rule with this condition:
Configure the "Parameter Key" of your transaction to "Transaction.bankName" (assuming that you have such an attribute in your transaction).
Configure "Regular Expression" to "(bank.)". Configure an alert that says "Some specified bank transaction".
Create a group of generic strings called "interesting banks" and add "bank1" and "bank2" to it.
Configure the group name as "In List" parameter for this condition.
Configure "Is" to true and default return value to false.
Process a few transaction by providing bank names, "bank1" and "bank2","bank3", and so on. Verify that the alert is generated for "bank1" and "bank2" only.
Verify that alerts are generated for "BANK1". This shows that the regular expression matching is not case-sensitive.
General information about the condition is provided in the following table.
Condition | Session: Check Param Value for Regex |

[False] / True |
Yes |
Use this condition to check if enough autolearning data exists in the system that had been collected by a given pattern.
"Enough data" can be termed as data gathered over the last several days, depending on the customer scenarios.
For example, this condition can determine if the given autolearning pattern has gathered the data for the last 90 days and based on that, the autolearning rules are used.
The condition provides time for autolearning data to reach statistical stability. If autolearning rules work on a very small set of data, the results may be skewed, depending on how small data sample is.
For example, on a system that just had the pattern enabled today, a customer may want the OAAM Server to gather pattern data for three months before starting testing.
In that case, this condition is useful because it will evaluate to true only after three months (90 days). Then, autolearning rules can trigger and evaluate the risk.

Use this condition to check if enough autolearning data exists in the system.
"Enough data" can be termed as data gathered over the last several days depending on the customer scenarios.
This condition can determine if any of the autolearning pattern have gathered data for the last 90 days, and based on that, auto learning rules can be used.
This provides time for autolearning data to reach statistical stability. Otherwise, if autolearning rules work on a very small set of data, the results may be skewed depending on how small the data sample is.
For example: on a system that has patterns enabled today, customers may want OAAM Server to gather pattern data for three months before starting to use autolearning rules. In that case, this condition is useful. It evaluates to true only after three months (90 days) and then autolearning rules can trigger and evaluate the risk.

Use this condition when you want to trigger a rule based on checks that are satisfied on consecutive transactions in a given duration.
For example, you configured a transaction called purchase and want to trigger a rule if the current/last transaction amount is greater than $1000 and there were at least 3 transactions before that where the amount was less than $10.
So, the rule is looking at the last 4 transactions and checking for a fraud pattern of small transactions first and then a big transaction.
Configure a rule with this rule condition and select the appropriate transaction type.
Select the number of transactions for the first check as "1" and select the condition to check as "Amount" "Greater Than" 1000, since you want to check only one transaction for the large amount.
Select the number of transactions for the second check as "3" and select the condition to check as "Amount" "Less Than" 10, since you want to check 3 transactions for smaller amounts.
If you want to allow other transactions in between the checks for the first check and the second check, select "Allow Gaps in Transactions during checks?" as TRUE otherwise select FALSE.

|
durationDescriptor |
Specify the duration during which the transactions have to be counted. Duration descriptor widget renders the UI for specify the duration. Important: By default durationType is 'rolling' meaning it takes current time as the end point to count the start point. Therefore, if you specify 1 hour using 'rolling' durationType, it simply subtracts 60 minutes from the current time to compute the start time of the duration window. Whenever the duration is described as 'last' x seconds/minutes/hours/days rolling Type duration has to be used. There will be occasions where you want to start the duration window start at zero, and then you should use the durationType as 'calendar'. For example, suppose the current time is 3.35pm and you want to count behavior that happened between 3pm and 3.35 pm then you can specify it has 1 hour with durationType as 'calendar'. |
No |
|
transactionStatusEnum |
Specify the transaction status that has to be considered for counting. If you want to consider all transactions regardless of their status then don't specify any status |
Yes |

ignoreCurrentTransactionInCount |
Flag to indicate if the current transaction has to be ignored |
Yes |
This condition can be used whenever you want to trigger a rule based on the number of times the same entity has been used over a specified time period.
For example, you have configured a transaction called purchase and you want to trigger if a credit card is used more than 10 times in one day.
To achieve this, select 'Credit card' as the element to be counted and select 1st duration as 1 calendar day.
Then select comparison condition as 'Greater than' and the specified count as 10.

Condition | Transaction: Check Transaction Aggregrate and Count Using Filter |
---|---|
Description |
Check the aggregrate of a numeric field and transaction count. You can specify the criteria for transaction to be counted using the filter conditions (up to 6 conditions) and you can also specify the other parameters like duration to be considered and the transaction status to consider and so on. |
Prerequisites |
Transactions should be defined. Transaction type of the current transaction should be same as the transaction type specified in the rule condition |
Assumptions |
Aggregrate can be applied only on numeric fields. So the transaction definition should have at least one numeric field. |

Operator to be applied for the count condition. Specify greater than, greater than or equals, less than, less than or equals |
Yes |
|
specifiedValueForCount |
Transaction count numeric value to check |
Yes |
|
durationDescriptor |
Specify the duration during which the transactions have to be counted. The duration descriptor enables you to specify the duration. Important: By default, durationType is "rolling," meaning it takes the current time as the end point to count backward to the start point. Whenever the duration is described as "last" x seconds/minutes/hours/days, the rolling type duration has to be used. So if you specify 1 day using "rolling" durationType, the "rolling" day starts 24 hours (exactly 1 day) from the current time. For example, if it is 11:33 am, and you specify 1 day, the "rolling" day will start from 11:33 am of the previous day and end at the current time today. There will be occasions where you want to have the duration window start at 0.00. For those occasions, you should use the durationType as "calendar". So if you specify 1 day using "calendar" as the durationType, the "calendar" day will start at 0.00 (12:00 am) of that day and end at the current time. Examples of "rolling" and "calendar": A "calendar" week starts from Sunday regardless of the current day, whereas the "rolling" week starts from 7 days from the current day. A "calendar" month starts from the 1st of the current month, whereas the "rolling" month starts from the same day of the previous month. A "calendar" year starts from January 1st of the current year, whereas the "rolling" year starts from the same day of the previous year. In both the "calendar" and "rolling," the end date/time is the current time. The durationType affects how the startTime of the duration is computed. The "Before" option is used when you want to skip over an interval of time before you begin counting backward to the start point. For example, if you want to calculate 7 days worth of data, but you do not want the data from the last 7 days, you would specify the interval of time you want to skip. If today is February 6, and you want to look at data from January 17 to the 23rd, you would specify "Before" 15 days. |
No |
|
transactionStatusEnum |
Specify the transaction status that has to be considered for counting. If you want to consider all transactions regardless of their status, do not specify any status |
Yes |
|
ignoreCurrentTransactionInCount |
Specify if you want to ignore current transaction (if any) in the count. If there are multiple transactions and if this is specified as true, only the last transaction is ignored. |
Yes |
|
applyFilterOnCurrentTransaction |
Specify if you want to check the filter conditions on the current transaction before performing the count. If the filter conditions fail on the current transaction then the rule condition is evaluated to false without performing the count. |
||
filter1Key filter2Key filter3Key filter4Key filter5Key filter6Key |
These parameters specify the left hand side of the filter conditions. The left hand side represents the fully qualified key of the transaction field. This field could be an entity field or data field or transaction attribute or request attribute. |
||
filter1Condition filter2Condition filter3Condition filter4Condition filter5Condition filter6Condition |
These parameters represent the operator and right hand side of the filter condition. The operator and the right hand side represent the fully qualified key of the filter condition. The right hand side is the value, which could be a simple value, the value of the current transaction, or a group.
|
Wherever the filterKey is specified, appropriate condition has to be specified |
Use this condition when you want to trigger a rule based on an aggregrate of a transaction numeric value and transaction count.
This is designed to reduce the number of conditions since you can specify checks for both aggregrate and count in a single condition
For example, suppose you have configured a transaction called purchase and you want to challenge if a user is performing a lot of purchases (for example, more than 2 per hour with average amount that is greater than 500) from a high-risk country.
For achieving this, you must use this rule with the following:
Specify Aggregrate condition as "Average."
Specify Aggregrate value to check as "500."
Specify Count condition as "Greater Than Equals."
Specify Count to check as "2."
Specify the duration with durationType as rolling and duration as 1 hour.
Specify false for "Ignore Current Transaction in count?" since you want to consider current transaction in the count.
Specify true for "Apply FilterOnCurrentTransaction?" field.
One filter condition: for checking if the country of the current session is in the list of High Risk countries.
This condition can be used to specify up to six (6) filter conditions that are applied on transactions that are considered for counting
General information about the condition is provided in the following table.

Use this condition when you want to trigger a rule based on the comparison of transaction counts across two different durations.
For example, you configured a transaction called "purchase" and want to trigger the rule if the number of transactions for the current day is 20% more than the number of all transactions of the previous day for that user.
To achieve this:
Select the first duration as 1 calendar day and the second duration as 1 calendar day before 1 day.
Then, select the comparison condition as "Greater than" and multiplier value as 1.2 (100%+20%).

Time period in seconds to look back into users session history. |
[Integer] Default is 3600. Positive integer indicates that condition looks for finite time before this request. 0 value will mean that condition will look for all available history of sessions. If negative value is provided for this parameter then condition will always evaluate to false. |
No |
This condition can be used whenever you want to check if the user is using too many devices of certain type in certain time period immediately preceding this request. For example, lets say you want to restrict users to use only N number of mobile devices in last 24 hours.
To achieve this, you need to use this condition in a rule.
Configure the "Number of Devices" operator of this condition as "Greater Than." Configure the "Number of Devices to compare value of this condition as "N-1".
Configure the "Devices of type" of this condition as "Mobile Device" and configure the "within seconds" of this condition as 86400.
Run authentications with the registered users and you can see the rule triggering when they have used "N" devices within last 24 hours.

User Data Key |
The complete name of the key which may have associated data for that user. Consider this a property or a configuration property for only that user. |
[Strings] Default is email |
Yes |
This condition can be used whenever you want to check to see whether the user has associated data for the key. For example, you may want to determine whether the user has an email defined in his OTP configuration, so you want to trigger a rule based on whether this email field is defined (non-empty) for the user. To do this, you must use this rule with this condition.
Configure the "User Data Key" of this condition with "user_otpContactInfo_email" (for mobile phone, use key to "user_otpContactInfo_mobile").
Use the new out-of-the-box base policies that are shipped with 11g. This will force user to register for OTP on the first or second login.
Run authentications with the registered users.
You can see the rule triggering when they are registered for the OTP email (or mobile if you have used that as key).
Then go to policy editor and change the value of the key "zoom.some.item.that.is.not.supposed.to.exist."
Run authentication users again and notice that the rule does not trigger.
Notice that the rule does not trigger. (The assumption is that no such key data exists for this usual key)

Exclude IP List |
This parameter allows you to specify a list of IPs to ignore. If a user's IP is from that list, then this condition always evaluates to false. If the user's IP is not in that list or if the list is null or empty, then the condition evaluates the velocity of the user or the device from the last login and evaluates to true if the velocity exceeds the configured value. |
Condition evaluates if the users login was successful earlier and the velocity in miles per hour is more than specified value and user belong to the same Device ID. If there are multiple logins of the same user from the same device, then the parameter "ignore if last login device is same" will act. In order for the condition to be false, there must be multiple logins that are successful from the same user that is using the same Device ID. The location database is used to determine the location of the user for this login and the previous login.

The "Device Max Velocity" rule is used to detect "man in the middle" attacks where a hacker obtains the MAC address for devices that users log in from. Hackers replay the user's login and provide the user's computer MAC address. By doing this they fool the system into thinking the user is logging in from a known and trusted device that is in the user's OAAM profile.
The "Device Max Velocity" rule can detect this type of attack, trigger an alert and block the hacker from successfully signing in. This is accomplished in conjunction with the Quova subscription data. The rule checks to see if the MAC address is in the list of known devices the user is logged in from. Then it examines the IP address location where the user is logged in from. If a hacker then tries to log in by replaying the user's session and also using the user's device MAC address from another location, such as 100 miles away, the rule uses a formula that determines the possibility of that user's device traveling at that velocity.
It is possible for a user to log in to his application, then take a Jet to fly to another city and once again log in to the same application. Therefore you want to be able to adjust the variables of the formula to allow for a portable device to travel at least the speed of a Jet. The "Device Max Velocity" rule has two values that the administrator can configure. Those value fields are called "Last Login Within (Seconds)" and "Miles Per Hour is More Than". Using these two field values you can customize the allotted velocity that a physical device can travel before an alert is triggered.
The rule first picks up the last successful login in the last N seconds. (If there are multiples, the last one (with the highest timestamp) is picked.
The rule looks at cityLastLogin and currentCurrentLogin and calculate the distance between them which "= the distance."
Then it calculates thisDistance divided by the difference in login times. That becomes the velocityCalculated.
If velocityCalculated is more than velocityConfigured in the rule (from the user interface), the rule triggers.
Using the following testing assumptions and steps you can make the "Device Max Velocity" rule alert trigger, and also see how to avoid not triggering the rule alert. Before starting your test:
The user's auth status should be "success" in the previous login (N seconds ago).
Assume you only have one minute to test the "Device Max Velocity" rule. Assuming that point A and point B are 900 miles apart, in order to travel from point A to point B in 60 seconds, you need to be traveling at 54000 miles an hour.
Set your "Miles Per Hour is More Than" to 54000
Set the "Last Login Within (Seconds)" to 60 seconds.
Setting up the Test:
Pick two IP addresses for the test that you know are far away from each other. You are using the following IP addresses from the Quova data:
63.232.120.161 Austin, Texas
63.229.250.34 Phoenix, Arizona
These two cities are a distance of 867 miles apart.
Make sure that the rule is not triggered by logging in twice and not exceeding the "Device Max Velocity" settings you already set to 60 seconds and 54000 miles per hour. Log in twice with the same user and device with logins no less than 75 seconds apart. Make sure that each time you log in you use a tool like Firefox "Modify Headers" to change the IP address between logins using the two IP Addresses mentioned earlier in this section. This simulates a device logging in from two different locations 867 miles apart. The Device Max Velocity alert does not trigger.
Now perform the same test again where you log in twice less than 30 seconds apart, again, changing the IP address between logins. The Device Velocity alert is triggered.
Understanding the relationship between the "Miles Per Hour is More Than" and the "Last Login Within (Seconds)" settings: You cannot change one of these settings and not consider what the other needs to be set to. In other words, you cannot only set the "Mile Per Hour is More Than" setting and not properly adjust the "Last Login within (Seconds)" setting. These two settings work together with the formula to calculate a devices velocity. The relationship between these two settings is not an "OR". It is an "AND". Last Login AND Mile per hour work together. Remember the following two rules before changing these two settings.
You cannot only consider the "Miles Per hour" when setting the velocity. You must also consider the "Last Login within (Seconds)" setting.
When testing, you must consider and calculate the distance between point A and point B, the time taken to conduct the test, and further factor in the distance between the two points and how long the testing takes. If you want to use one minute as the time allotted for the testing, then make sure you know the distance between point A and Point B. You must also know how long it takes to get from point A and point B in 60 seconds, again, if you plan to conduct your test in less than one minute.
