3. Configure the conditional attributes

Click the 'Add Attribute' button in the 'Conditional Attributes' section. Select the attribute and the default value to be returned. Click the 'Add Condition' button to add conditions to the return value.

Conditional attributes are evaluated in order. The first group listed that the authenticated user is a member of determines the value returned. If the user is not a member of any of the groups listed, the default value is returned.

4. Configure the MAC address attributes

Click the 'Add Attribute' button in the 'MAC Address Conditional Attributes' section. Select the MAC entry and the default value to be returned. Click the 'Add Condition' button to add conditions to the return value.

MAC address conditional attributes are evaluated by the longest matching prefix first. The longest MAC entry matching prefix determines the value returned. If the MAC address does not match any MAC entries listed, the default value is returned. If the MAC address does not match any MAC entries at all, the request is rejected.
