Appendix B. Policy Priority
Global Policy, Authentication Policy and User Policy
WIAS-3200N supports multiple Policies, including one Global Policy and 5 individual
Policy can be assign to different Authentication Server. Global Policy is the system’s
universal policy and applied to all clients, while other individual Policy can be selected and
defined to be applied to any Authentication Server. For some authentication, such as Local
and RADIUS, user can be assigned to different Policy individually. So one user may be
applied different policy at the same time. Which policy is actually applied to this user?
The Policy Priority are enforced as follows:
User Policy >> Authentication Policy >> Global Policy
Now, let us discus different user policy type:
¾
For Local and RADIUS, the users can be assigned to different Policy individually. For
example, a Local user, user01, is assigned to Policy1 and the Local Authentication is
assigned to Policy2. Then user01 login to Public Zone will get Policy1. This is a
common case for users that can assign Policy individually.
¾
For Local and RADIUS, if these users are not assigned any User Policy individually,
they will be the same as other users within the same authentication server. For
example, a Local user, user01, the Local Authentication is assigned to Policy3. Then
user01 login to Public Zone will get Policy3. This is another common case for users
that is assigned Policy by the authentication server.
¾
If User is not assigned a Policy individually and the authentication server is also not
assigned a Policy, then the users will be applied the Global Policy. For example, a
Local user, user01, is assigned to None Policy and the Local Authentication is also
assigned to None Policy in User list. Then user01 logging to Public Zone will be
applied with the Global Policy.
As a conclusion, the Global Policy has the lowest policy priority; on the other hand, the
User Policy has the highest one.
