EntityAttributeRegexMatchConfiguration
Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:afp
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-afp.xsd
Overview
The EntityAttributeRegexMatch
 type is a PolicyRule that returns true if the SAML metadata for the requester contains <mdattr:EntityAttribute>
extension data matching the supplied parameterization.
Specifying the attributeNameFormat
attribute in the rule will constrain the rule to match only against the underlying XML representation of the extension data. Omitting it will permit the rule to match against the data mapped from the XML via the AttributeRegistryConfiguration, which increases efficiency.
Reference
XML Attributes
Name | Type | Required? | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
attributeName | String | Y |  | The SAML Attribute |
attributeValueRegex | Y | Â | The regular expression to match against | |
attributeNameFormat | URI | Â | Â | The SAML Attribute |
ignoreUnmappedEntityAttributes | Boolean | Â | false | When true, this constrains the rule to ignore the underlying XML and match solely against the data mapped via the AttributeRegistryConfiguration |
Example
The above policy would match the tags in the metadata below:
<PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="EntityAttributeRegexMatch"
attributeName="urn:example.org:policy" attributeValueRegex="^urn:mace:example\.org.*$" />
