The following Validation Logic Types are available for use with User Management Profiles and Profile objects. Some Validation Logic Types allow the use of the * and ? wildcards.
The asterisk (*) wildcard means that at least one occurrence of the specified characters must exist in the entry field. When a profile or profile object element is being validated based on an entry field using the *, validation will return true and valid if the specified characters prior to the asterisk exist anywhere in the text field.
For example, if the specified Active Directory group is [ AC* ], then any group that begins with AC, followed by any other characters will be valid for the validation.
The question mark (?) wildcard is used often used as a placeholder for unknown data. One or more ? may be used in a text field in conjunction with other characters. If the pattern of characters matches the field being validated, where a ? represents any other character, the validation will return true and valid.
For example, if a Computer Name is specified in the validation entry field as [ SHP??01 ], then any computer with a name that starts with SHP and is then followed by any two characters plus 01. A computer name SHPAB10 would match and validate true for this example.

Select TS Application Name in order to execute a configuration element based on the name of the Terminal Server (TS) published application that is currently in use. Find the TS Application Name Validation Logic type under the Terminal Services category. In the Value box, enter the TS Application Name. The supplied TS Application Name is compared against the running applications during the logon process and must be found for the configuration element to be processed.
Examples:
Outlook |
Validates true for the published application Outlook |
Outlook* |
Validates true for any published application starting with the name Outlook. This may be used for different versions of the application. |
Some Citrix environments precede the published application name with a # symbol. For example, if the application name is published as Outlook, the name on the client side may be represented as #Outlook. Therefore, the Validation Logic must be set to #Outlook (in this instance) for the element to validate properly.
#Outlook* |
Validates true for any published application starting with the name Outlook. This may be used for different versions of the application. |
To determine the actual published application name that is being used on the client, review the sltrace.htm log file.
Note: A value will not be returned for the Terminal Service Application Name on a Windows 2008/2008 R2/2012/2016/2019 server using RemoteApp. It will work, however, if Citrix Xen Server is installed on the 2012 server.

Select TS Client TCP/IP Address in order to execute a configuration element based on the IP Address of the client connecting to the Terminal Server (TS). Find the TS Client TCP/IP Address Validation Logic type under the Terminal Services category. Specify the TS Client TCP/IP Address by entering it into the Value entry. If both IP Addresses match the configuration element will be processed.
The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcards may be used to match TCP/IP addresses. This wildcard technique and simplified string manipulation should be effective on most networks. Keep in mind that you are not required to specify complete octets. Specifying 192.168.1* would attempt to match the first two octets completely and the first character of the third octet to the client's TCP/IP address.
Examples:
192.168.100.5 |
Validates true for the client computer whose TCP/IP address is 192.168.100.5. |
192.168.100.* |
Validates true for any client computers whose TCP/IP address matches the first three octets. |
192.168.* |
Validates true for any client computers whose TCP/IP address matches the first two octets. |
192.168.1??.5 |
Validates true for any client computers whose TCP/IP address matches 192.168.1xx.5, where xx is any number. |
10::1 |
Validates true for the client computer whose TCP/IP address is 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:1. |
True subnetting is supported. Use true subnetting values to selectively specify certain groups of IP addresses. Specify the IP address and subnet mask in the TCP/IP in the Value entry. The subnet mask can be specified in either dotted decimal format or by specifying the number of mask bits.
Examples:
10.0.0.4/255.255.255.0 |
Validates true for the client computers whose IP address is in the range of 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.254. |
10.0.0.4/24 |
Validates true for the client computers whose IP address is in the range of 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.254. |
10.0.0.4/255.255.255.240 |
Validates true for the client computers whose IP address is in the range of 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.14. |
10.0.1.4/28 |
Validates true for the client computers whose IP address is in the range of 10.0.1.1 - 10.0.1.14. |
10.0.0.39/28 |

Select Custom Function in order to execute a configuration element based on the return value of the function. Find the Custom Function Validation Logic type under the Custom Validation category. Custom functions are defined in the Profile's Definitions tab. All custom functions must return a TRUE or FALSE value. Specify the Custom Variable by entering it into the Value entry. If the custom function returns TRUE (or any value other than 0), the configuration element will be processed. A FALSE return value will cause the configuration element to be unprocessed.
Example:
The function below is used to determine if the specified version ($version) of DirectX is greater, equal or less than ($operand) the currently installed version of DirectX. The function returns a value ($DXVersion) based on the parameters passed to the function. This function is defined in the Profile's Definitions tab.
; Custom Script File
; File Name: SLP00001.sld
; Description: SLP00001.sld
;
;----------------------------------------------------------
function DXVersion($operand, $version)
if slVersionCompare(ReadValue('SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Directx','Version'),$operand,$version)
$DXVersion = 1
else
$DXVersion = 0
endif
endfunction
;----------------------------------------------------------
RETURN ; Must be last line of file. Do not remove this line
To use this function within the Validation Logic, select Custom Function from the Validation Logic dialog box. Specify the function name and parameters (if necessary) in the Value entry. In this example, an operand of '<' (less than) and a version of 7.0 is passed to the function. This is compared to the version of DirectX on the workstation. The return value is set accordingly. If the version of DirectX on the workstation is less than 7.0 than the script entry will be processed.
Desktop Authority provides no error control over custom functions. A syntax error in your custom function will cause Desktop Authority to unexpectedly terminate.

Note: Validation Logic type does not allow the use of wildcards |
Select Custom Variable in order to execute a configuration element based on the value of the defined variable. Find the Custom Variable Validation Logic type under the Custom Validation category. Custom variables are defined in the profile's Definitions tab. All custom variables must evaluate to a TRUE or FALSE value. Specify the Custom Variable by entering it into the Value field. If the custom variable equals to TRUE (or any value other than 0), the configuration element will be processed. A FALSE value will cause the configuration element not to be processed.
Example:
The value of the variable below ($DASystemTray) is evaluated with the code below. This variable is defined in the Profile's Definitions tab.
; Custom Script File
; File Name: SLP00001.sld
; Description: SLP00001.sld
;
;----------------------------------------------------------
$DASystemTray = ReadValue($DAKeyLM+'\v5\GUI\','EnableSystemTray')
;----------------------------------------------------------
RETURN ; Must be last line of file. Do not remove this line
To use this variable within Validation Logic, select Custom Variable from the Validation Logic dialog box. Specify the variable name in the Value entry. In this example, the registry key can either equal a 1 or 0. When the registry key is read, the value is stored in the $DASystemTray variable. If the value of the variable is True (or any other non-zero value), the script element will be processed.
Figure 4: Using a custom variable within Validation Logic
If the variable does not result in a Boolean value and will be used as comparison to a string, the variable must be wrapped within quotes. In the following example, $SiDesktopSize, the variable results in the size of the computer desktop as a string. For example, "1024x768". This variable is expressed within quotes and compared to a string (within quotes) in the Validation Logic dialog.
