security:x509 subject-principal-regex question

[chrissirwin]

Hi,

This may really be a regex question but thought I would try here first since I am using Spring Security and I may be missing something.

I am trying to get the entire subjectDN: contents using the <security:http> element.
For example if the subjectDN is CN=My Name, OU=Org1, OU=Org2, C=US and I use the regex "CN=(.?)," I get "My Name" as the username in the loadUserByUsername() method. What I want to get is "CN=My Name, OU=Org1, OU=Org2, C=US" but I cannot figure what regex to use. Has anyone done this before?

Here is my ApplicationSecurityContext.xml snippet:

<sec:http entry-point-ref="authProcessingFilterEntryPoint">
   <sec:x509 subject-principal-regex="^CN$" user-service-ref="userAuthService" />

I have tried regexs like: "^CN$" and "(.?)" to no avail. Only picking our one field seems to work ( "CN=(.?)," )

Thanks,

Chris
