The Shibboleth IdP V3 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP4 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.
AuthenticationMethodRegexConfiguration
This plugin is deprecated and will be removed in V4.0 due to the inability to accurately represent authentication in the IdP as a single string value. It may be replaced with a differently-named plugin with more advanced capabilities, or one may use scripting to interrogate the full authentication state of the subject.
