Symptoms

Cannot specify certain regex syntax when configuring Client IP for 'Matching' or 'Validation' rules in an AAM Policy.

Impact

Cannot use the GUI to configure the policy with certain regex strings. The system posts the following error message: The field Value has invalid characters.

Conditions

Adding regex characters such as \, [, ], ^, $ to an existing policy. Parentheses appear to be allowed, but do not save the information correctly.

Workaround

Use tmsh, and escape special wild-card characters with '\': For example at add 10.[0-9]$: modify wam policy Drafts/test_policy nodes modify { t1 { matching modify { client-ip { values replace-all-with { 10.\[0-9\]$ } } } } }.
