CA Data Protection supports the * and ? wildcards in policy list items. You can substitute * for zero or more characters; you can substitute ? for a single character. The following table provides examples:
List items |
Notes |
---|---|
URLs |
* characters are added are automatically to start and end of these items. |
unipraxis |
Interpreted to be the same as *unipraxis*. The trigger detects sites such as unipraxis.com, unipraxis.co.uk or even sales.unipraxis.com. |
sales.*.com |
Detects sites such as sales.unipraxis.com. |
Email addresses |
Email address matching is not case-sensitive. CA Data Protection interprets a space between address components as AND operators. |
*@unipraxis.com |
Detects emails sent to or from this domain only. |
*@unipraxis* |
Detects emails sent to or from domains such as unipraxis.com or unipraxis.co.uk. |
unipraxis.com |
Detects any email addresses ending in 'unipraxis.com'. In effect, this is the same as specifying *@unipraxis.com. |
frank unipr* |
Detects all emails sent to or from, for example, frank.schaeffer@unipraxis.com. |
Card numbers |
CA Data Protection ignores spaces so, if you prefer, you can omit spaces between digit groups, for example, 45449?00*. |
4544 9?00 * |
If part of an Included list, the trigger activates whenever CA Data Protection detects a number such as 454491000000. If part of an Excluded list, the trigger is activated whenever CA Data Protection detects any card number except 454491000000. |
Text |
Trigger text can apply to the content of a file, Web page, email or email attachment, plus data submitted to a Web site using an HTML form. |
unipr* or ref??? |
If part of an Included list, the trigger activates whenever CA Data Protection detects words such as Unipraxis or ref328. |
holiday req* |
If part of an Excluded list for an email content trigger, the trigger activates for all emails except those that contain phrases such as 'holiday request'. |
photocop* |
If part of an Excluded list for a submitted data trigger, the trigger activates for all data submissions except when, for example, a user selects 'Photocopier paper' from a form menu. |
File names |
These include email attachments, imported files, and files uploaded to a Web site. |
plan??? or *.xls |
If part of an Included list, the trigger activates whenever CA Data Protection detects a file such as plan_13.xls. |
*.jpg |
If part of an Excluded list, all uploaded files activate the trigger unless this involves a file such as cute_kittens.jpg. |
|
Note: Most triggers that use file lists are activated when a listed file is detected; you can specify any file types in these list settings. But other triggers attempt to search the content of the listed files; for these triggers, only certain file types are supported in the file list. |
Window titles |
Used in Application Monitoring triggers. Note that * characters are added are automatically to start and end of these items. |
Notepad |
Interpreted to be the same as *notepad*. If part of an Included list, the trigger activates whenever a Notepad window opens. |
*.do? - Micro* |
Detects window titles such as 'planning.doc - Microsoft Word'. If part of an Excluded list, the trigger activates whenever a window opens unless it has a title such as 'planning.doc - Microsoft Word'. |
Executable paths |
Used in Application Monitoring triggers. Note that * characters are added are automatically to start and end of these items. |
Notepad |
Interpreted to be the same as *notepad*. If part of an Included list, the trigger activates whenever Notepad.exe runs. |
?:\*\Foo |
This detects any instance of Foo.exe running in a subfolder. If part of an Excluded list, the trigger activates whenever any application runs except for, for example, C:\Program Files\Foo.exe. Note: This does not detect instances of Foo.exe running in the root of a drive, for example, H:\Foo.exe. |
Special characters |
To search for literal occurrences of the characters { } | * or ?, prefix them with a '\' backslash. For example: |
24\*7 |
This detects 24*7. |
What next for Unipraxis\? |
This detects What next for Unipraxis? |
Note: CA Data Protection interprets a space between keywords as a literal character except in email address and credit card number lists.
