Certificate Policy Information Provider

Note: this component stores cluster-wide configuration data and is mirrored across all servers in the topology within the the same cluster.

Note: changes to cluster-wide configuration objects are immediately and automatically mirrored across all servers within the same cluster, so offline changes are not supported.

The Certificate Policy Information Provider makes the properties of a Client TLS Certificate available to a policy writer.

This Policy Information Provider enables authorization policies to access properties of a Client TLS Certificate chain submitted as part of a HTTPS request for protected resources. Certificate information including the subject, issuer, and expiration date is returned as a JSON object that may be examined by policy rules.

evaluation-order-index

Description
When multiple Certificate Policy Information Providers are defined for a single Data Governance Server, this property determines the evaluation order for determining the correct provider class for a specified XACML attribute. Values of this property must be unique among all Certificate Policy Information Providers defined within Data Governance Server but not necessarily contiguous. Certificate Policy Information Providers with a smaller value will be evaluated first to determine if they match a XACML attribute Id. If the inclusion criteria of the Certificate Policy Information Providers are non-overlapping, i.e. no entry will match more than one Certificate Policy Information Provider, then the values for this property are unimportant.
Default Value
3000
Allowed Values
An integer value. Lower limit is 0.

No
Required
