  1. Click Policies > Risk-based Policies > Geolocation.

  2. Select Enable Location Profiling to fetch the location data from the configured geolocation database. This data helps in identifying the location of users based on the IP address.

    To configure Neustar:

    1. Select Neustar Service in Geolocation Provider.

    2. Specify the API Key and API Secret.

    To configure a custom provider:

    For example, you can configure MaxMind GeoIP. For information about MaxMind, see MaxMind Support Center.

    1. Select Custom Provider in Geolocation Provider.

    2. Specify a name in Provider Name.

    3. Specify the fully qualified name of the JAVA class. For example, com.company.test.MyCustomClass
