Cloudflare Access Expanded Wildcard Support is now live

I’m excited to announce expanded wildcard support in Cloudflare Access!

Access Application Definition wildcarding now allows users to more flexibly define Access Applications using the * wildcard character.

For example, test.*.example.com and example.com/*/path, which were previously invalid, are now valid wildcards in Access.

Additional information can be found here: Application paths · Cloudflare Zero Trust docs

Note
A small subset of customers who had an existing wildcard application with a wildcard at the end of an application path, not following a slash character will have different behavior until April 20th, 2023.

example.com/alpha* will cover example.com/alpha and example.com/alpha/one but not example.com/alphabet.

After April 20th, all three path combinations will be covered for all customers. All admins with an account impacted by this change will receive an email.
