CN list for x509::subject?

We have a current irule CN list that works great, and would like to somehow lowercase the X509::subject characters to eliminate case sensitive subjects? Not sure if thats possible but I tried something like this and it did not work. Any ideas?

 

 

when CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT {

 

Check if client provided a cert

 

if {[SSL::cert 0] eq ""}{

 

log "Client Certificate Missing"

 

reject

 

 

} else {

 

set subject_dn [X509::subject [SSL::cert 0]]

 

log "Client Certificate Received: $subject_dn"

 

if {([matchclass [string tolower [$subject_dn]] contains $::cn_list]) } {

 

Accept the client cert

 

log "Client Certificate Accepted: $subject_dn [SSL::cert count]"

 

} else {

 

log "Client Certificate Mismatch: $subject_dn [SSL::cert count]"

 

reject

 

}

 

}

 

}

    Hi JCMATTOS,

    I do not have a ClientSSL Certificate to test with at the moment, but can you try the string tolower on the set? 

    
set subject_dn [string tolower [X509::subject [SSL::cert 0]]
