CAS 5.x - regular expressions

[Jeffrey Ramsay]

All -

I went live with CAS 5.1.7 in production and ran into a problem that was not reported in test. I have a site which requires me to use both star and dot star allowances so, I defined two service entries however, I think I should be able to combine these but have not been successful.

How can I combine these links? (.|.*) did not work and I'm not sure what effect escaping the dots will have. Since this is production, I can experiment as much as I would like.

https?://my.service.edu/*

https?://my.service.edu/.*

Thanks,

-Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Would like to know what exactly you want to catch using regex for the two links?  (Maybe give some example?) 

The first link you provided, when translate to regex only matches something like these:
https://my.service.edu, http://my.service.edu///////////////////////////////////

Which, I think maybe is not what you wanted.

In any case, If your two links are valid, see if the below fit your needs:

(https?://my.service.edu/.*)|(https?://my.service.edu/*)

Or maybe even this:
https?://my.service.edu((/.*)|(/*))

If you want to test Regex (the links pattern you using) without worrying it will broke your production setup, you can always go to site like http://jsregex.com/, then fine tune your link pattern until it is correct before deploying them to production.

cheers

Andy,

 

Thanks for the update and after using the validation link you provided, I believe the following will work for both service links.

 

^https?://my.service.edu.*$

 

Thanks,

-Jeff

Jeff,

I would suggest you include the trailing slash as optional to avoid someone poking at your system with a service like https://my.service.education

^https?://my.service.edu(/?|/.*)$
