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, 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 namespace, the schema for 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 namespace has an equivalently named (but not necessarily identical) version in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver namespace. The use of the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver namespace also allows a relaxation of the ordering requirements of child elements to reduce strictness.

Attributes

Any of the common attributes can be specified. In addition, the following attributes are defined:

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".
