-------------------------------------
A comment to the description (did not know formatting syntax that expanded
asterisks):
Current ACLs can't authorize just to <anything>.sports and to usa.<anything>
> 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
> Labels: features
> Attachments: ACLs-full-regexp.patch
>
>
> 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.
