ScriptConfiguration

Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:afp
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-afp.xsd

Overview

The Script type allows definition of complex filtering with a scriptlet as either a Mapper or a PolicyRule depending on the location. The script is either a Policy Rule or a Mapper depending on its location:

If the script is specified within the scope of an <AttributeRule> element then the script has to be Mapper, returning a Set<IdPAttributeValue>, which is added to the permit or deny list for the attribute in question.
If the script is specified within the scope of a <PolicyRequirementRule> element then the script has to be a PolicyRule (returning a Boolean), which defines whether the rule is active or not.

Script Context

The following variables are defined within the script:

Name	Type	Description

Name	Type	Description
filterContext	AttributeFilterContext	The AttributeFilter context provides some information about the request, and a mechanism to navigate to other contexts in the tree
profileContext	ProfileRequestContext	The root context for the request
attribute (Matcher Only)	IdPAttribute	The attribute being filtered
custom	Object	Contains whatever was provided by the `customObjectRef` attribute (see above)
subjects	Array of Subject	The Subjects associated with this authorization. Note that these will only be present if the attribute resolution has been associated with an Authentication (and so this will not work for back channel requests).

Reference

Name	Type	Default	Description

Name	Type	Default	Description
language	String	javascript	The language of the script
customObjectRef	Bean ID		The name of a Spring Bean defined elsewhere. This bean will be made available to the script with the name "`custom`".

Name	Description

Name	Description
<ScriptFile>	The path of a resource (usually a file) which contains the script
<Script>	The script. It is usual to specify this within a CDATA

Examples

This simple rule just adds the first value of the attribute "mail" to its permit list:

Inline Matcher

<AttributeRule attributeID="mail">
	<PermitValueRule xsi:type="Script">
		<Script>
        <![CDATA[
            hashSetType = Java.type("java.util.LinkedHashSet");
            result = new hashSetType();
            result.add(attribute.getValues().iterator().next());
            result;
        ]]>
		</Script>
	</PermitValueRule>
</AttributeRule>

This example uses an external script file that determines the applicability of the rule based on an implied condition. It just demonstrates the mechanics of returning true or false from a script.

Externally specified PolicyRule

<AttributeFilterPolicy id="Example">
	<PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="Script" language="JavaScript">
		<ScriptFile>%{idp.home}/conf/scripts/simple.js</ScriptFile>
	</PolicyRequirementRule>
</AttributeFilterPolicy>

Simple JavaScript PolicyRule

boolType = Java.type("java.lang.Boolean");
if (/* Some sort of condition */) {
  result = new boolType(false);
} else {
  result = new boolType(true);
}
result;
