Overview

The IssuerEntityAttributeRegexMatch type is a PolicyRule that returns true if the SAML metadata for the issuer 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.

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="IssuerEntityAttributeRegexMatch" attributeName="urn:example.org:policy" attributeValueRegex="^urn:mace:example\.org.*$" />

 

[...] <md:Extensions> <mdattr:EntityAttributes> <saml:Attribute Name="urn:mace:example.org:policy"> <saml:AttributeValue>urn:mace:example.org:policy:ABCD</saml:AttributeValue> <saml:AttributeValue>urn:mace:example.org:policy:1234</saml:AttributeValue> </saml:Attribute> <saml:Attribute Name="urn:mace:example.org:entitlements" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"> <saml:AttributeValue>urn:mace:example.org:entitlements:ABCD</saml:AttributeValue> <saml:AttributeValue>urn:mace:example.org:entitlements:1234</saml:AttributeValue> </saml:Attribute> </mdattr:EntityAttributes> </md:Extensions> [...]
