Overview

The <PathRegex> element is used to apply content settings to requests whose path matches a regular expression. The query string, if any, is NOT included in the comparison.

Regular expressions apply to the remainder of the path that is being compared and do not "nest", so if you care what's after the part you're matching, then compose your expression to check for the entire match you want.

Example

As with the example in the <Path> topic, this scenario doesn't actually warrant a separate <Path> element since the "secure/" string could be prefixed to the demonstrated expression.

<RequestMapper type="Native">
    <RequestMap applicationId="default">
        <Host name="sp.example.org">
            <Path name="secure">
                <PathRegex regex="(en|de|it|fr)/create/new/class" caseSensitive="false" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true">
                    <AccessControl><NOT><Rule require="affiliation">student</Rule></NOT></AccessControl>
                </PathRegex>
            </Path>
        </Host>
    </RequestMap>
</RequestMapper>
