XML certificate model

The following UMI XML document shows the data passed to the XSL processor from the rules evaluator during the evaluation of a Certificate User Mapping Rule.

The document contains one container named stsuuser. The attribute value of the container stsuuser:STSUniversalUser is defined in XML.

The certificate evaluator automatically encompasses all of the data under the XML top-level node declaration XMLUMI when the UMI XML document is created, so this top-level element is added for clarity. The XML document is automatically created by the CDAS, based on the attributes available within the client certificate. The XML document passed to the evaluation routines by the user mapping rules evaluator is as follows: 

<XMLUMI>
<stsuuser:STSUniversalUser xmlns:stsuuser="urn:ibm:names:ITFIM:1.0:stsuuser">
<stsuuser:Principal>
<stsuuser:Attribute name="name">
<stsuuser:Value>
-- Subject DN from certificate --
</stsuuser:Value>
</stsuuser:Attribute>
</stsuuser:Principal>
<stsuuser:AttributeList>
<stsuuser:Attribute name="--attr-name--" type="urn:ibm:security:gskit">
<stsuuser:Value>--attr-value--</stsuuser:Value>
</stsuuser:Attribute>
...
</stsuuser:AttributeList>
</stsuuser:STSUniversalUser>
</XMLUMI>

For example:

For a full list of available attributes, see Valid certificate attributes.

When referencing a particular UMI item within the XMLUMI document available to a rule, the XPath path specifier can begin from the container name of the XML element (for example, stsuuser:STSUniversalUser) . If the callers want to specify their own template match statement explicitly, they can do so.
