ACLs shall support full regural expressions in property values
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: QPID-3892
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3892
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ Broker
Affects Versions: 0.14
Reporter: Pavel Moravec
Currently ACL syntax supports in a property value either direct match
("name=RequestQueue") or a substring match ("name=tmp.*").
That is not sufficient when authorizing access to topics. One particular
example: amq.topic exchange receives messages with keys usa.sports, usa.news,
europe.sports and europe.news. Currently we can not authorize access just to
topics *.sports and to usa.*
As there exist different use cases where regular expressions are required in a,
it is meaningful to support (full) regular expressions in ACL property values.
Since qpid C++ broker already relies on boost libraries a lot, I suggest (in a
patch proposed) using boost::regex library.
I tested the attached patch on Fedora, not sure if other Linux distributions
are familiar with the change in Makefile.am.
