Example

We have a rule with certificate entry "Subject", certificate attribute "CN" and logon with "User Name". The following subjects are mapped by the rule as follows:

• "CN=SAP_USER, C=DE, O=SAP": User SAP_USER
• "CN=INVALID_SAP_USER, C=DE, O=SAP": User INVALID_SAP_USER

It is important to notice that the value of subject attribute CN is directly copied to the user name field. More precisely, there is no consistency check on the mapped value. The user INVALID_SAP_USER as an example is no valid user name as it is too long.

If the rule maps with the alias instead of the user name, the application tries to retrieve the corresponding user name (of the alias). In case it exists the field shows the user name. Otherwise, the field stays empty.
