Routers are simple conditional rules (that is, if-then expressions) that determine which instance has to be used to authenticate a particular connection. They consist of a condition and a corresponding instance: if the parameter of the connection matches the set condition, then the authentication is performed with the set instance. The condition consists of a variable and a pattern: the condition is true if the variable of the connection is equal to the specified pattern. Routers can be configured in the section of the MC component. They are evaluated sequentially: if the incoming connection matches a router, authentication is performed according to the instance specified in the router, otherwise the next router is evaluated. For configuring a new router only the condition has to be specified and the backend instance selected. The exact procedure is as follows:
Navigate to the MC component, and click in the section of the tab.
Select the instance that will authenticate the connections matching this router from the combobox.
Click on , and define a condition for the router. Select the variable to be used from the combobox, and enter the search term to the field. If the of the inspected connection matches , the instance specified in will authenticate the connection.
Currently the following variables can be used to create conditions:
Client IP,Client zone,Service, andUser.Note A router can contain multiple conditions. In this case all specified conditions must be true to select the target instance. (that is, the conditions are connected with logical AND operations.)
