8 In the URL field, add the URL string to be enforced in this policy.
NOTE: In addition to standard URL elements, the administrator can enter the port, path
and wildcard elements to the URL field. For more information on using these additional
elements, see
If a path is specified, the URL policy is recursive and applies to all subdirectories. If, for
example "www.mycompany.com/users/*" is specified, the user is permitted access to any
folder or file under the "www.mycompany.com/users/" folder.

Policy URL Object Field Elements
When creating an HTTP/HTTPS policy, the administrator must enter a valid host URL in the URL field. In
addition, the administrator can enter the port, path and wildcard elements to this field. The following chart
provides an overview of standard URL field elements:

Policy URL Object Field Elements
Usage
Can be a hostname that should be resolved or an IP address. Host information has
to be present.
If port is not mentioned, then all ports for that host are matched. Specify a
specific port or port range using digits [0-9], and/or wildcard elements. Zero "0"
must not be used as the first digit in this field. The least possible number
matching the wildcard expression should fall within the range of valid port
numbers such as [1-65535].
This is the file path of the URL along with the query string. A URL Path is made of
parts delimited by the file path separator '/'. Each part might contain wildcard
characters. The scope of the wildcard characters is limited only to the specific
part contained between file path separators.
%USERNAME% is a variable that matches the username appearing in a URL
requested by a user with a valid session. Especially useful if the policy is a group
or a global policy.
The following wildcard characters are used to match one or more characters
within a port or path specification.
* – Matches one or more characters in that position.
^ – Matches exactly one character in the position.
[!<character set>] – Matches any character in that position not listed in
character set. For example [!acd], [!8a0]
[<range>] – Matches any character falling within the specified ASCII range. Can
be an alphanumeric character. For example, [a-d], [3-5], [H-X]
