SwitchCase Identity Assertion Provider
The SwitchCase identity assertion provider solves issues where down stream ecosystem components require user and group principal names to be a specific case.
An example of how this provider is enabled and configured within the <gateway> section of a topology file is shown below. This particular example will switch user principals names to lower case and group principal names to upper case:
<provider>
<role>identity-assertion</role>
<name>SwitchCase</name>
<param>
<name>principal.case</name>
<value>lower</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>group.principal.case</name>
<value>upper</value>
</param>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</provider>These are the configuration parameters used to control the behavior of the provider.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
principal.case | The case mapping of user principal names. Choices are: lower, upper, none. Defaults to lower. |
group.principal.case | The case mapping of group principal names. Choices are: lower, upper, none. Defaults to setting of principal.case. |
If no parameters are provided the full defaults will results in both user and group principal names being switched to lower case. A setting of “none” or anything other than “upper” or “lower” leaves the case of the principal name unchanged.
