How can I black list event code and user type?

I'm trying to blacklist the event code 4634 when user_type = computer.  I'm using the below blacklist in my inputs.conf file and it doesn't seem to work.  When I remove user_type="computer", it does properly filter out the event code 4634, but it doesn't work when I try the combination of the two.  What am I doing wrong or is there a different way to accomplish this?

 

blacklist4 = EventCode="4634" user_type="computer"
