AddAccessRule Method of the IFPCPolicyRules Interface

The AddAccessRule method creates a new FPCPolicyRule object representing an access rule in the collection and returns a reference to it.

HRESULT AddAccessRule(
  [in]   BSTR Name,
  [out]  IFPCPolicyRule** ppNewRule
);

Function AddAccessRule( _
  ByVal Name As String _
) As FPCPolicyRule

Remarks

The name assigned to the new rule must be unique. If the AddAccessRule method is called with the name of an existing policy rule, the method fails.

An access rule defines the action that will be taken when specific users attempt to access specific sites or content through the Forefront TMG computer. The access rule defined by the FPCPolicyRule object (IFPCPolicyRule interface in C++) created can be configured by setting the properties of the FPCAccessProperties object accessed through the AccessProperties property.

When an enterprise with central array management is deployed, the following restrictions apply.

• An access rule that allows traffic cannot be created in an array policy if the enterprise administrator sets the EnableAllowRules property of the FPCPolicyAssignment object (IFPCPolicyAssignment interface in C++) for the array to FALSE (VARIANT_FALSE in C++).
• An access rule that allows traffic cannot be created in an array policy if the enterprise administrator sets the EnableDenyRules property of the FPCPolicyAssignment object (IFPCPolicyAssignment interface in C++) for the array to FALSE (VARIANT_FALSE in C++).
