FPCPolicyRules Collection

Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004/2006 SDK

The FPCPolicyRules collection provides access to a group of FPCPolicyRule objects. An individual FPCPolicyRule object in this collection represents an access rule, a server publishing rule, or a Web publishing rule. In ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition, this collection defines the policy of a single ISA Server array, with which one ISA Server computer is associated. In ISA Server Enterprise Edition, this collection can be used to define an array policy or an enterprise policy.

In ISA Server Enterprise Edition, this collection provides a method for creating a new server publishing rule to which a protocol with a specific scope will be applied.

The rules appear in this collection in their order of application. This order can be modified by the MoveUp and MoveDown methods.

The FPCPolicyRules collection can be accessed through the PolicyRules property of an FPCArrayPolicy object.

In ISA Server Enterprise Edition, this collection can also be accessed through the PolicyRules property of an FPCPolicy object, which represents an enterprise policy. The set of policy rules in an FPCPolicyRules collection that is used to define an enterprise policy may include only access rules and a placeholder that specifies the ordinal position (Order) of the set of array policy rules within the set of enterprise policy rules when the enterprise policy is applied to an array. Server publishing rules and Web publishing rules cannot be created on the enterprise level.

Inheritance

This collection inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to persistent object storage. They include methods for exporting an object's configuration to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

The FPCPolicyRules collection defines the following methods.

Method	Description
AddAccessRule	Creates a new FPCPolicyRule object representing an access rule in the collection and returns a reference to it.
AddServerPublishingRule	Creates a new FPCPolicyRule object representing a server publishing rule in the collection and returns a reference to it.
AddServerPublishingRuleWithScopedProtocol	Creates a new FPCPolicyRule object representing a server publishing rule for a protocol with a specific scope in the collection and returns a reference to it (available only in Enterprise Edition).
AddWebPublishingRule	Creates a new FPCPolicyRule object representing a Web publishing rule in the collection and returns a reference to it.
Item	Retrieves the requested FPCPolicyRule object from the collection.
MoveDown	Moves the specified rule down the list of rules, which corresponds to their order of application.
MoveUp	Moves the specified rule up the list of rules, which corresponds to their order of application.
Remove	Removes an FPCPolicyRule object from the collection.

Properties

The FPCPolicyRules collection has the following properties.

Property	Description
_NewEnum	Gets an enumerator object for the collection.
Count	Gets the number of FPCPolicyRule objects in the collection.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Recursively reads the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the collection. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParametersSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the collection.

Interfaces for C++ Programming

This collection implements the IFPCPolicyRules interface. In Enterprise Edition, this collection also implements the IFPCEEPolicyRules interface.
