RegexpSplitAttributeDefinition

The RegexpSplit attribute definition produces its values by applying a Java regular expression to each of the input attribute's values.  For every input value that matches, the first match group is added as a new output value.

Schema Name and Location

This xsi:type is defined by the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver schema ^3.3, which is located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver.xsd.

Prior to V3.3 supplied plugins were defined by a schema type (xsi:type) in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad schema, which is located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-attribute-resolver-ad.xsd.  This is still supported, but every element or type in the  urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad schema has an equivalently named (but not necessarily identical) version in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver  schema.  The use of the  urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver schema also allows a relaxation of the ordering requirements of sub elements and so a more natural order can be applied.  Note that versions earlier than 3.3 are no longer supported and you should look to upgrade at the soonest opportunity.

Attributes

Any of the common attributes can be specified. In addition, the following attributes may be provided:

regex

caseSensitive

Child Elements

Any of the common child elements can be specified.

Example

<AttributeDefinition id="exampleRegexp" xsi:type="RegexSplit" sourceAttributeID="uid" regex="Pre-(.+)-Post">
	<Dependency ref="myLDAP" />
	<AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2String" name="http://example.org/example" friendlyName="regexp"/>
</AttributeDefinition>

If this matcher was given an attribute with the input values "Fred", "Pre-And-Post", it would produce an output attribute with one value "And".
