About macros and
macrocalls
A
macro
is a collection of access
policy actions that provide common access policy functions. For example, AD auth and resources
is a preconfigured macro template. It supplies a logon page, an Active Directory
authentication action, and a resource assignment action. The properties and rules for the
actions are configurable. After a macro is configured, it can be placed into the access policy by
adding a macrocall. A
macrocall
is an action that performs
the functions defined in a macro.A macro contains actions and terminals and can include macrocalls.
You cannot use subroutines in macros within per-request policies.
- Access policy actions
- Any available action or series of actions.
- Macrocalls
- Calls to other macros (nested macros).
- Terminals
- An endpoint in a macro. Default terminals areSuccessfulandFailure. Terminals are configurable and can be added and deleted.
Terminals defined in the macro display as the branches that follow the
macrocall after it has been added to the access policy.
