             Summary: Flexible mapping from x.509 certificates to an identity
                 Key: DISPATCH-200
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-200
             Project: Qpid Dispatch
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Container
            Reporter: Ted Ross
            Assignee: Ganesh Murthy
             Fix For: 0.7


x.509 certificates contain structured data.  It is necessary to be able to 
generate a unique identity from a certificate for the purpose of indexing into 
access policy.
The proposed feature will contain a descriptor that is part of an ssl-profile 
configuration that specifies the format and content of the identity in terms of 
the fields of a certificate.
For example, the identity can be the certificate fingerprint, or the 
distinguished name, or the combination of more than one field.

A further enhancement is to provide a secondary mapping from the above identity 
to a configured nickname.  For example, a user may want to use the fingerprint 
as the identity field but wishes to write policy and view management data 
containing a more friendly "display" name rather than the raw fingerprint.
