IssuerRegexConfiguration
Overview
The IssuerRegex (basic:AttributeIssuerRegex prior to V3.4) is a PolicyRule which returns true if the entityID of the party issuing the attributes (usually the IdP itself) matches the supplied Java regular expression. It's not commonly needed but is of use in "multi-homing" scenarios in which the IdP may be representing multiple sources of attributes.
