General

Use the wildcard matching rule editor to create custom rules for mapping client certificates to Windows NT user accounts. You can use wildcard rules to match client certificate issuers to your list of trusted certificate authorities. You can match specific information contained in client certificates, such as the issuerÆs company name or locality, by creating rules defined with custom matching criteria. When creating matching criteria, you can use the wildcard character to partially specify the text of your criteria.
