Issue/Introduction

Planning to protect several resources:

  | Resource          | Protection  |
  |-------------------+-------------|
  | / (root)          | protected   |
  | /person/_app_bin  | unprotected |
  | /contact/_app_bin | unprotected |
  | /address/_app_bin | unprotected |

Can be all these resources being unprotected with having only 2 Realms as:

  | Realm       | Protection  |
  |-------------+-------------|
  | / (root)    | protected   |
  | /*/_vti_bin | unprotected |

Or said in another way, can wildcards be used in Realm definition?

 

Resolution

Wildcards in Realms are not supported.

Only strings are allowed (1).

They would be treated as a literal characters.

And as such, note that * are reserved characters in the URL and should not be in usage (2).
