Class SubjectDnX509PrincipalExtractor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.security.web.authentication.preauth.x509.SubjectDnX509PrincipalExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

X509PrincipalExtractor

public class SubjectDnX509PrincipalExtractor
extends Object
implements X509PrincipalExtractor

Obtains the principal from a certificate using a regular expression match against the Subject (as returned by a call to X509Certificate.getSubjectDN()).

The regular expression should contain a single group; for example the default expression "CN=(.?)," matches the common name field. So "CN=Jimi Hendrix, OU=..." will give a user name of "Jimi Hendrix".

The matches are case insensitive. So "emailAddress=(.?)," will match "[email protected], CN=..." giving a user name "[email protected]"
