# Java Class for Matching Not Enforced Rules

The Java class used to match URIs and IP addresses embedded within not enforced rules.

The specified class must implement the interface `com.sun.identity.agents.common.RulePatternMatcher`.

If the class fails to instantiate, an error is logged and the default NotEnforcedRulePatternMatcher is created instead.
