Wildcard Support for Source Apps in Forwarding Profiles

Configure wildcard patterns in Forwarding Profile source application paths to handle dynamic application installations and version updates automatically.
You can now use wildcard patterns in Prisma® Access Agent Forwarding Profile source application paths to accommodate applications that install in dynamic locations. This feature addresses scenarios where application paths contain version numbers, usernames, or randomized identifiers that change during updates or vary across users. You can specify wildcards using the asterisk (*) character to replace single directory components in the path, enabling a single rule to match multiple path variations. This capability reduces administrative overhead when managing applications like Microsoft Teams that embed version numbers in their installation paths, or applications that install into user-specific directories. The feature provides flexibility for modern application deployment patterns across Windows and macOS environments.
