<p class="MsoNormal">I have a lot riding on getting this request map right, so I’m asking for feedback from you guys before I move forward.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had originally intended to protect the entire host and then make a few path exceptions. However, I’ve learned that a link to the root folder (<a href="https://appx.college.edu/">https://appx.college.edu/</a>) is required to display some
index pages anonymously, which does not work with the root protected. So with the request map shown below, I do not require a session at the host or for a list of path exceptions, but do protect all other pages and folders. This configuration appears to be
functional, but comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks very much!
