Define the MatchingRule for the Notification Service

To configure the notification service, you must indicate which URLs trigger a notification message to the producer when accessed by a user.

The NotificationURL is not a complete URL; it is only the resource portion of the URL after the server name. The SAML Affiliate Agent checks each consumer URL request against the NotificationURL.

The MatchingRule attribute, required as part of the NotificationURL, indicates how the SAML Affiliate Agent compares each URL, for which the user gained access, to the NotificationURL.

The two possible values for the matching rule are:

• StrictPrefix
• Substring
