### Develop and Evaluate Custom Policies with Python

Source: https://context7.com/context7/ibm_en_sva_11_0_1/llms.txt

This Python example shows how to interact with the IBM Verify API to create and evaluate custom authorization policies. It uses the 'requests' library to send POST requests to policy endpoints. The code defines a PolicyEngine class with methods for policy creation and evaluation, handling user context and resource details. It requires the 'requests' and 'json' libraries.

```python
import requests
import json
from datetime import datetime

class PolicyEngine:
    def __init__(self, verify_url, api_token):
        self.verify_url = verify_url
        self.headers = {
            'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_token}',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }

    def create_custom_policy(self, policy_definition):
        """Create a custom authorization policy"""
        endpoint = f'{self.verify_url}/api/v1/policies/custom'

        policy = {
            'name': policy_definition['name'],
            'description': policy_definition['description'],
            'priority': policy_definition.get('priority', 100),
            'conditions': policy_definition['conditions'],
            'actions': policy_definition['actions'],
            'enabled': True
        }

        response = requests.post(endpoint, headers=self.headers, json=policy)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()

    def evaluate_policy(self, user_context, resource):
        """Evaluate policies against user context"""
        endpoint = f'{self.verify_url}/api/v1/policies/evaluate'

        evaluation_request = {
            'userId': user_context['userId'],
            'userGroups': user_context.get('groups', []),
            'userAttributes': user_context.get('attributes', {}),
            'resource': resource['path'],
            'resourceType': resource['type'],
            'action': resource['action'],
            'environment': {
                'ipAddress': user_context.get('ipAddress'),
                'timestamp': datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
                'deviceTrust': user_context.get('deviceTrust', 'unknown')
            }
        }

        response = requests.post(endpoint, headers=self.headers, json=evaluation_request)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()

# Usage example
engine = PolicyEngine('https://verify.company.com:9443', 'your-api-token')

# Define a time-based access policy
policy_definition = {
    'name': 'Business Hours Access Policy',
    'description': 'Restrict access to sensitive resources during business hours only',
    'priority': 50,
    'conditions': [
        {
            'type': 'time',
            'operator': 'between',
            'value': {'start': '08:00', 'end': '18:00', 'timezone': 'America/New_York'}
        },
        {
            'type': 'group',
            'operator': 'in',
            'value': ['employees', 'contractors']
        },
        {
            'type': 'ip',
            'operator': 'in_range',
            'value': ['10.0.0.0/8', '172.16.0.0/12']
        }
    ],
    'actions': [
        {'permit': ['read']},
        {'deny': ['write', 'delete']}
    ]
}

# Create the policy
result = engine.create_custom_policy(policy_definition)
print(f"Policy created: {result['policyId']}")

# Evaluate policy for a user
user_context = {
    'userId': 'jsmith',
    'groups': ['employees', 'developers'],
    'attributes': {'department': 'Engineering', 'clearance': 'confidential'},
    'ipAddress': '10.50.1.100',
    'deviceTrust': 'managed'
}

resource = {
    'path': '/api/financial-records',
    'type': 'api',
    'action': 'read'
}

evaluation = engine.evaluate_policy(user_context, resource)
print(f"Access decision: {evaluation['decision']}")
print(f"Applied policies: {evaluation['appliedPolicies']}")
print(f"Reason: {evaluation['reason']}")
```

### Check System Logs for Errors using cURL and jq

Source: https://context7.com/context7/ibm_en_sva_11_0_1/llms.txt

This snippet shows how to retrieve system error logs from IBM Verify using cURL and filter the output with jq. It performs a GET request to the logs endpoint, specifying error level and a time range. The jq command then formats the output to show timestamp, component, and message for each log entry. Requires 'jq' to be installed.

```shell
curl -X GET "https://verify.company.com:9443/api/v1/logs?level=error&hours=24" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ADMIN_TOKEN}" | jq '.entries[] | {timestamp, component, message}'
