Configuring Regular Expressions to Match a CA Certificate with a CommCell User

To allow users to access the Web Console and Command Center using a Common Access Card (CAC), configure the Tomcat server on the Web Console and Command Center computers and add the necessary additional settings.

Procedure

1. Configure a regular expression pattern to divide the contents of the CA Certificate Subject field into a group of strings.

   For example, with the default regular expression CN=(.*)[.]([0-9]{10} you can split CN=DAVE.OWEN.9875432101 into two string groups DAVE.OWEN and 9875432101.

   1. Log on to the CommCell Console.

   2. To the CommCell environment, add the CACUserNameRegex additional setting as shown in the following table.

      For instructions about adding an additional setting from the CommCell Console, see Adding an Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

      Property	Value
      Name	CACUserNameRegex
      Category	CommServDB.GxGlobalParam
      Type	String
      Value	A pattern to divide the contents of the CA Certificate Subject field into group of strings. The default value is CN=(.*)[.]([0-9]{10})

2. Configure a regular expression pattern to extract the string groups created from the previous step and match it with an existing CommCell user.

   For example, with the default value $2, the second string group 9875432101 is extracted that can be used to match with the employee ID of an existing CommCell user.
