b) Select the appropriate logic operator (equal to, not equal to, starts with, ends
with, contains, or [is a role]) from the Logic drop-down list.
c) Enter the appropriate value to check against the specified attribute in the Value
field.
d) Select the role to assign to the user if the rule evaluates as true and the user is
authenticated from the Role drop-down list.
See “Defining User Roles to Enforce Network Usage Policies” on page 8-2 to
define a new role available for selection in the drop-down list.
Alternatively, you can select the Create New… option to open a window that
enables you to define a new role. After you save the role information, you are

the drop-down list.
2. Optional. Use the commands included in the Row Management drop-down list to
change the order of rules, add new blank rules, clear rule data, or delete a rule, etc.
Remember, the BSC evaluates rules in the order in which they are listed here on the
New Pubcookie server page.
3. Select the default user role from the Default role drop-down list. The selected default
role is the role the BSC assigns the user if none of rules is true.
Alternatively, select an LDAP/Active Directory authentication server from the Using
LDAP/Active Directory Server drop-down list to resume rules checking using the rules
configured for the selected LDAP/Active Directory authentication server.
Location Optional. Specify the user location from which the Pubcookie authentication request must
originate by selecting a defined user location from the drop-down menu. If a user location
is specified, the authentication request will not be attempted if the request does not come
from that location.
Notes Optional. Enter a meaningful description for the external Pubcookie authentication server.
