The Internet of Things: Edge Connect product allows connected users and devices to communicate on a publish-subscribe basis within reserved namespaces. This behavior affects how clients can authenticate themselves to edge servers, and which groups within namespaces are authorized to access topics. When enabled, this behavior allows end users to authenticate their requests with valid x509 client certificates. Either a client identifier or access authorization groups are required to make the request valid.

The behavior extracts the value from the specified field in the client certificate and stores it as a variable for a client identifier or access authorization groups. You can then apply any of these behaviors to transform the value: dcpAuthHMACTransformation, dcpAuthRegexTransformation, or dcpAuthSubstringTransformation.
