HP FlexFabric 5700 series User Manual

229
A certificate-based access control policy is a set of access control rules (permit or deny statements), each
associated with a certificate attribute group. A certificate attribute group contains multiple attribute rules,
each defining a matching criterion for an attribute in the certificate issuer name, subject name, or
alternative subject name field.
If a certificate matches all attribute rules in a certificate attribute group associated with an access control
rule, the system determines that the certificate matches the access control rule. In this scenario, the match
process stops, and the system performs the access control action defined in the access control rule.
The following conditions describe how a certificate-based access control policy verifies the validity of a
certificate:
• If a certificate matches a permit statement, the certificate passes the verification.
• If a certificate matches a deny statement or does not match any statements in the policy, the
certificate is regarded invalid.
• If a statement is associated with a non-existing attribute group, or the attribute group does not have
attribute rules, the certificate matches the statement.
• If the certificate-based access control policy referenced by a security application (for example,
HTTPS) does not exist, all certificates in the application pass the verification.
