Setting Client Security Requirements

certmap default default
default:DNComps
default:FilterComps e, uid
certmap usps ou=United States Postal Service, o=usps, c=US
usps:DNComps ou,o,c
usps:FilterComps e
usps:verifycert on
When the server gets a certificate from anyone other than the US Postal Service, it
uses the default mapping, which starts at the top of the LDAP tree and searches for
an entry matching the client’s email and userid. If the certificate is from the US
Postal Service, the server starts its search at the LDAP branch containing the
organizational unit and searches for matching email addresses. Also note that if the
certificate is from the USPS, the server verifies the certificate; other certificates are
not verified.
Example #3
The following example uses the
CmapLdapAttr
property to search the LDAP
database for an attribute called
certSubjectDN
whose value exactly matches the
entire subject DN taken from the client certificate.
certmap myco ou=Example Corporation, o=example, c=US
example:CmapLdapAttr certSubjectDN
example:DNComps o, c
example:FilterComps mail, uid
example:verifycert on
If the client certificate subject is:
uid=Walt Whitman, o=Example Corporation, c=US
the server first searches for entries that contain the following information:
certSubjectDN=uid=Walt Whitman, o=Example Corporation, c=US
CAUTION
The issuer DN (that is, the CA’s information) in the certificate must
be identical to the issuer DN listed in the first line of the mapping. In
the previous example, a certificate from an issuer DN that is
o=United States Postal Service,c=US
won’t match because
there isn’t a space between the
o
and the
c
attributes.
