Overview

The ValueRegex type matches attributes values against the supplied Pattern

The ValueRegex type can be a Matcher or a PolicyRequirement.

  • If no attributeID attribute is specified then it is a Matcher (returning matching values from the filtered attribute, and the empty set otherwise).

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

Apply this rule if the attribute "uid" contains at least one value which starts with "hn":

Simple Profile Policy
<PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="ValueRegex" regex="^hn.*$" attributeID="uid"/>

Add any values of the attribute "uid" with start "hn" to its permitted values list:

Simple Matcher
<AttributeRule attributeID="uid"> <PermitValueRule xsi:type="ValueRegex" regex="^hn.*$" /> </AttributeRule>

Apply this rule if any attribute contains a value which starts with hn:

Compound PolicyRule (deprecated)
<PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="ValueRegex" regex="^hn.*$"/>

If the attribute "uid" contains any value which starts hn then release all values of "email":
