The Authentication Type condition allows you to assign a role based on the authentication types used to authenticate the current user. The [Current] selection represents the current set of authentication types used to authenticate the user. The other selections represent specific authentication types that can be used to compare with [Current]. The Authentication Type condition returns true if the selected Authentication Type is contained in the set of Authentication Types for [Current]. For example, if the current user was required to satisfy the Authentication Types of Basic and SmartCard, then a selected Authentication Type of either Basic or SmartCard would match.
Authentication Type: To compare the type that the user used with a static value, select Current. To compare a static value with what the user used, select a type from the list.
Comparison: Specify how the type is compared to the data in the Value field. Select either a string comparison or a regular expression:
Comparison: String: Specifies that you want the values compared as strings and how you want the string values compared. Select one of the following:
Equals: Indicates that the values must match, letter for letter.
Starts with: Indicates that the Authentication Type value must begin with the letters specified in the Value field.
Ends with: Indicates that the Authentication Type value must end with the letters specified in the Value field.
Contains Substring: Indicates that the Authentication Type value must contain the letters, in the same sequence, as specified in the Value field.
Comparison: Regular Expression: Matches: Specifies that you want the values compared as regular expressions.
Mode: Select the mode appropriate for the comparison type:
Comparison: String: Specify whether the case is important by selecting Case Sensitive or Case Insensitive.
Comparison: Regular Expression: Matches: Select one or more of the following:
For regular expression syntax information, see the Javadoc for java.util.regex.Pattern.
Value: Specify the value you want to compare with the Authentication Type value. If you select a static value for the Authentication Type value, select Authentication Type and Current. If you select Current for the Authentication Type value, select Authentication Type, then select a type.
Other value types are possible if you selected Current for the Authentication Type value. Your policy requirements determine whether they are useful.
Result on Condition Error: Specify what the condition returns when the comparison of the two values returns an error rather than the results of the comparison. Select either False or True. If you do not want the action applied when an error occurs, select False. If you want the action applied when an error occurs, select True.
