2. Open the **User Location** tab.
3. From the Username drop-down menu, select **Username**.
4. From the Type drop-down menu, select **IP Address**.

6. Open the **Policy Group** tab.
7. Select the policies and pick **Location Confirmation** from the Action Menu.
8. Configure the **Policy Realm** for the defined policy group as well.
