Certificates

The cert access control rule allows access to a resource if the incoming request was signed with a valid client security certificate.

NOTE: This may require changes to your web service configuration to accept client certificates.

This allows remote machines access to resources that are otherwise private, without going through ARDI authentication.

Properties

name: An optional regular expression to match with the name. If this isn't provided, any valid certificate is accepted.

Basic Example

{
   "type": "cert",
   "name": "com.mycompany.*"
}

This restricts access to only requests that are signed with a certficate belonging to a system with a common name starting with 'com.mycompany.'.
