Examples

Using the example from the previous section, a file called list2.html in the location /marketing/competitors/list2.html matches the nested realm /marketing/competitors/. When the Policy Server processes authentication for list2.html, the user authenticates via HTML Forms, since that is the authentication scheme associated with the
/marketing/competitors/ realm.

In the same example, a file called current_budget.html in the location
/marketing/budgets/current_budget.html. Since the /budget directory is not specifically called out in a nested realm, the longest matching realm for this resource is /marketing/. Therefore, the user authenticates via the Basic user name and password authentication scheme.
