FPCUserSet object

Applies to: desktop apps only

The FPCUserSet object defines a set of users. A user set may contain a combination of Windows users that have Active Directory accounts and non-Windows users that are authenticated using an authentication scheme other than that of Active Directory. Examples of non-Windows users include RADIUS and SecurID users. The Windows users are assembled in an FPCAccounts collection that can be accessed through the Accounts property, and the non-Windows users are assembled in an FPCNonWindowsUsers collection that can be accessed through the NonWindowsUsers property. For more information about different kinds of users in Forefront TMG, see Defining Groups of Users.

Forefront TMG provides the following predefined user sets:

  • All Authenticated Users.
  • All Users.
  • System and Network Service.

Access rules and Web publishing rules (FPCPolicyRule objects) can be applied to specific user sets by including references to the applicable FPCUserSet objects in the FPCRefs collection held in the UserSets property of the FPCAccessProperties object and in the UserSets property of the FPCWebPublishingProperties object, respectively. When you apply a rule to a user set other than the All Users user set, Forefront TMG will block requests from users, including anonymous users, who fail to authenticate and prove whether they do or do not belong to the user set.

For VBScript code examples that show how to create a user set and how to add a user set to an access rule, see Adding an Access Rule and Controlling Access by a Schedule and a User Set.

The user sets to which the virtual private network (VPN) quarantine is not applied are specified by including references to the applicable FPCUserSet objects in the FPCRefs collection held in the UserSetsExcluded property of the FPCVpnQuarantineSettings object.

The FPCUserSet object is an element of an FPCUserSets collection, and a new user set can be created by calling the Add method of this 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 object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its 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 object and of its subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its 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 object and of its subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the object and its 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 object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the object.
