Status Not under consideration
Workspace WebSphere Liberty

authFilter should enable 'and' conditions in Liberty

In Liberty's configuration for requestUrl, the pattern allows 'or' to combine multiple strings, but not 'and' so does not allow complete boolean logic to be applied to the filter.

The filter is used to determine the openidConnectClient configuration to use for authentication, user or application client flow.

Please allow an 'and' operator, like '&' to be used too.

    Thanks for submitting your idea.

    We are not going to add this Idea to our roadmap right now as this does not align with security best practices and design intent. However we’ll keep it on record and revisit it if things change in the future. If you want to discuss this decision further, please contact Macdara Butler at Macdara@ibm.com or Jahnvi Bedia at jahnvibedia.28@ibm.com

    Looking forward to receiving more ideas from you on the IBM Ideas Portal.
