Page Matching Criteria For Rewriter Profiles; Custom Word Profile; Custom Character Profile - Novell ACCESS MANAGER 3.1 SP2 - ACCESS GATEWAY GUIDE 2010 Manual

When you modify the behavior of the default profile, remember its scope. If the default profile does
not match your requirements, you should usually create your own custom Word profile or custom
Character profile.

Custom Word Profile

A Word profile searches for matches on words. For example, "get" matches the word "get" and any
word that begins with "get" such as "getaway" but it does not match the "get" in "together" or
"beget."
For information about how strings are replaced in a Word profile, see the following:
"String Replacement Rules for Word Profiles" on page 58
"Using $path to Rewrite Paths in JavaScript Methods or Variables" on page 60
You should create a custom Word profile when an application requires rewrites of paths in
JavaScript. If the application needs strings replaced or new content-types, these can also be added to
the custom profile. In a custom Word profile, you can also configure the match criteria so that the
profile matches specific URLs. For more information, see
Profiles" on page 55.
When you create a custom Word profile, you need to position it before the
of profiles. Only one Word profile is applied per page. The first Word profile that matches the page
is applied. Profiles lower in the list are ignored.

Custom Character Profile

A custom Character profile searches for matches on a specified set of characters. For example, "top"
matches the word "top" and the "top" in "tabletop," "stopwatch," and "topic." If you need to replace
strings that require this type of search, you should create a custom Character profile.
For information on how strings are replaced in a Character profile, see
for Character Profiles" on page
In a custom Character profile, you can also configure the match criteria so that the profile matches
specific URLs. For more information, see
page 55.
After the rewriter finds and applies the Word profile that matches the page, it finds and applies one
Character profile. The first Character profile that matches the page is applied. Character profiles
lower in the list are ignored.

Page Matching Criteria for Rewriter Profiles

You specify the following matching criteria for selecting the profile:
The URLs to match
The URLs that cannot match
The content types to match
You use the Requested URLs to Search section of the profile to set up the matching policy. The first
Word profile and the first Character profile that matches the page is applied. Profiles lower in the list
are ignored.
