# authPasswordExactMatch

Compares an asserted `authPasswordSyntax` value with an `authPasswordSyntax` attribute's value.

The rule evaluates to TRUE if and only if there is an attribute value with the same `scheme`, `authInfo`, and `authValue` as the asserted value. The rule evaluates to FALSE if no attribute value has the same components. Otherwise, the rule evaluates to Undefined.
