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.

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.

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>
