Parses a single .signing_policy file and returns
NamespacePolicy
object.
Only the simplified parsing of the EACL format is implemented, in a similar way is in case
of a native Globus implementation. However there are differences. First of all the format
of this file is defined in a very imprecise way.
The parsing is done in the following way:
- as a whitespace the space and tab characters are used; a separator may
contain an arbitrary number of those, below only one space was used for clarity.
- all empty lines, whitespace only lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored
- the first line like this is searched:
access_id_CA X509 'ANY_STRING'
other are ignored. Line with the access_id_CA prefix and other ending causes an error.
- after this line it is expected that the next significant line is :
pos_rights globus CA:sign
- next the line in the format:
cond_subjects globus '"ANY_STRING" ["ANY_STRING"]'
is expected. The trailing string need not to be enclosed in '' and in "", but if it is
then the order of quotation must be preserved.
- go to step 3.
