Matching Rule

Note: this component has a complexity level of "expert", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered. Please contact support for assistance if you believe that you have a need to create or modify this type of object.

Matching Rules define a set of rules for performing matching operations against assertion values.

Matching rules are frequently associated with an attribute syntax and are used to compare values according to that syntax. For example, the distinguishedNameEqualityMatch matching rule can be used to determine whether two DNs are equal and can ignore unnecessary spaces around commas and equal signs, differences in capitalization in attribute names, an so on.
