Overview

The ValueRegex (basic:AttributeValueRegex prior to 3.2.0) type matches attributes values against the supplied Java Regular Expression

Confusingly, theValueRegex type can be a Matcher or a PolicyRequirement.

  • If no attributeID attribute is specified then it is a Matcher (returning that value if it is present amongst the values, and the empty set otherwise)
  • If an attributeID attribute is specified then it is a PolicyRule (returning true if that that is present amongst the values for the specified attribute).

Schema Name

The ValueRegex  type is defined by the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:afp schema, which can be located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-afp.xsd.
