VISULOX Filters

Overview

With VISULOX it is possible to define filters:

  • Filter for user and group
  • Filter for application
  • Filter for the remote access IP address
  • Filter for the access point

This article explains the different filters and their usage.

The filter elements

Filter for user and group

This filter is a list of users and user groups selected from the datasources. It is possible to define wild card filters as long as the filter has a result.

Filter for application

This filter is a list of applications. The applications are all listed in the datasource object of VISULOX. Wild card filters are possible as long as the filter has a result.

Filter for the remote access IP address

This filter is a list of IPv4 addresses. The element delimiter is a comma. This filter can be an IP address or IP Mask. It is possible to enter netmask like 192.168.10.0/24.

Filter for the access point

It is possible to select one ore more available acces points. An access Point is either a VISULOX Access Node or a VISULOX GATEWAY.

Wildcard filter

Wild card filters can not be used if the filter GUI is called within a role. This prevents to build filter which are too open.

Wild card filters are based on glob (http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/glob.htm)


VISULOX filter GUI

The VISULOX Filter GUI has two presentations. View and Edit.

Presentations
ViewShow the lines
EditStrings can be entered, objects can be selected


With the Compose button, filters like User / group  can be selected (View). The Remote IP filter is entered directly (Edit)

Filter example



User / group is limited to 25 elements, Application to 40 per default. These values can be changed

Example to set to 10 for both, user/group and applications

CODE
./visulox config edit -name vlxgui.filter.maxuser=10,vlxgui.filter.maxapplication=10


Example: Object



Depending on the usage in the VISULOX policies, the VISULOX Filter GUI can be displayed in different presentations.


It is recommended to set the vlxgui.usestrictfilter parameter to 1 to prevent the configuration of a filter mask in the GUI, which will have no result.

CODE
visulox config edit -name vlxgui.usestrictfilter=1
