Validator Configuration File Format¶

You can set up a Validator via a configuration file.
Next, we will show you how to write a configuration file.

The configuration file contains rules that will be applied by Validator.
Here is an example of configuration file.

rule
{
  for data
  name "Simple Rule"
  type self-defined
  definition
  {
    target
    {
      type name
      name "/localhost/example"
      condition isPrefixOf
    }
    signer
    {
      type name
      rule "/ndn/edu/ucla/KEY/yingdi/ksk-1234/ID-CERT"
      condition equal
    }
  }
}
rule
{
  for data
  name "Testbed Validation Rule"
  type hierarchical
  trust-anchor
  {
    type file
    file-name "testbed-trust-anchor.cert"
  }
}

This configuration file consists of two rules.
Each rule has its own name (which should be unique in the configuration file).
