Hello, 

 

We configured a URL list to allow certain github repositories and noticing netskope is processing the list in case sensitive mode. Is this the default behavior? Can we have it process in case insensitive mode? 

 

eg: github.com/Azure vs github.com/azure

Hi Siva,

URL list processes the input using 'Exact Match' by default. So, it does not have a case insensitive mode. If you would like to accommodate case insensitivity in URL lists, please use a Regex as it supports case insensitivity for URL lists.

 

You can refer this section of the Netskope Documentation to check how to create case insensitive RegEx for URL lists: https://docs.netskope.com/en/netskope-help/data-security/real-time-protection/custom-category/url-list-best-practices/#supported-regex

Thanks @ukrishna . Changed the URL list to RegEx and prepended (?i) to each URL line to make it case insensitive.
