Note: | Keep the following in mind:  If you specify multiple identifiers, the system evaluates them with the identifier defined in the Evaluate * actions.If you want to authenticate consumers, make sure that your policy enforcement point is configured to enable authentication. For information, see the webMethods Mediator documentation or the documentation for your third-party PEP. |
Specify values for one or more consumer identifier tokens. Note: | The value(s) that you specify in the Identification profile depend on how the run-time policy's Evaluate * actions are configured. For example, if an Evaluate IP Address action is configured to identify and validate consumers by their IP address, you should specify the consumer IP addresses here. For information about the Evaluate * actions, see Built-In Run-Time Actions Reference for
APIs. . |

In this field... | Do the following... |
Identification Token | Identify and authenticate consumers based on one or more of the following kinds of identification tokens: Use this field when the Evaluate * action is configured to identify and authenticate consumer applications by host name, HTTP user name, WSS user name or a custom token. Host Name—To identify consumers based on a specified host name, type the host name (for example, pcmachine.ab.com) in the Name field. The application asset will identify only those requests that originate from the specified host name.HTTP Authentication Token—To identify and authenticate consumers based on the user name that is transmitted in an HTTP authentication user token, type the user name (for example, testuser123) in the Name field. The application asset will identify only the requests that contain the specified user name encoded and passed in the HTTP authentication user token. Authentication is handled by LDAP or another external authentication mechanism. You can specify the kinds of HTTP headers that Mediator will pass from requests to services. The default is the Authorization header. To configure Mediator to pass other kinds of HTTP headers, see the Mediator documentation.WS-Security Authentication Token—To identify and authenticate consumers based on the user name that is transmitted in the SOAP or XML message header (HTTP body), type the user name (for example, userwss) in the Name field. The application asset will identify only the requests that contain the specified user name passed in the SOAP or XML message header. Authentication is handled by LDAP or another external authentication mechanism.Custom identification token (XPath)—To identify consumers based on the result of applying an XPath expression on the SOAP or XML message or request, enter the XPath expression in the Name field. For example, typing //*[local-name()='Envelope']/*[local-name()='Body']/*[local-name()='echoInt']/*[local-name()='echoIntInput='][.='2'] in the Name field will identify the requests that contain the XPath and the consumers.If you need to specify additional tokens, use the plus button to add more rows. |
From IP-V4 Address | Identify consumers based on their originating 4-byte IP address. Use this field when the Evaluate IP Address action is configured to identify consumer applications based on their originating IP addresses. To specify an individual IP address, type the address in the From IP-V4 Address field. The application asset will identify only those requests that originate from the specified IP address. Example: 192.168.0.0 |
To IP-V4 Address | Identify consumers based on their 4-byte IP address range. Use this field when the Evaluate IP Address action is configured to identify consumer applications based on their 4-byte IP address range. To specify a range of IP addresses, type the lowest IP address in the From IP-V4 Address field and the highest IP address in the To IP-V4 Address field. For example, the values 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.10 indicates that requests originating from any IP address that lies between the specified range will be identified by the application asset. |
From IP-V6 Address | Identify consumers based on their originating 6-byte IP address. Use this field when the Evaluate IP Address action is configured to identify consumer applications based on their originating IP addresses. As for IPv4 Address, but using the 128-bit IPv6 format. Example: 1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 |
To IP-V6 Address | Identify consumers based on their 6-byte IP address range. Use this field when the Evaluate IP Address action is configured to identify consumer applications based on their 6-byte IP address range. As for IPv4 Address, but using the 128-bit IPv6 format. For example: 1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 |
