Realms in Request Processing

When a user requests a resource, the Policy Server uses the longest matching realm to determine if a resource is protected, and if so, which authentication scheme must be used to establish the user's identity. The longest matching realm consists of the resource filter that can be located in the deepest level of any group of nested realms (or a single realm if nested realms are not used) that matches the requested path to a resource.
