Overview

The Value type compares attributes values against the supplied string.

This type can be a Matcher or a PolicyRule.

  • If no attributeID attribute is specified then it is a Matcher (returning that value if it is present amongst the values of the attribute being filtered, and the empty set otherwise).

  • If an attributeID attribute is specified then it is a PolicyRule (returning true if that that is present amongst the values for the specified attribute).
