<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been very happily using opensaml for the security processing of message level security for the CONNECT (<a href="http://www.connectopensource.org">www.connectopensource.org</a>) gateway for almost 2 years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now I am trying to add some validation of various message parts when I receive messages from various web service clients. One of the validations that I am looking to do is to check if the NameID/@value contains valid X509SubjectNames when
the NameID/@Format is “urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:X509SubjectName”. In the future I would like to validate any given NameID/@value against the NameID/@Format, but I am focused on X509SubjectName for now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does opensaml provide this type of validation functionality? Or is anyone aware of any open source libraries that might? Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
