Application resources are defined by one or more path patterns and zero or more query parameters. When handling requests, PingAccess matches the path pattern and query parameters with the proper resource. When more than one resource matches a request, PingAccess uses the first matching resource it identifies.

Resource ordering allows you to specify which resources are checked for a match in what order, letting you control the policy that is applied to a particular request. These instructions describe how to enable and disable resource ordering in PingAccess, as well as how to use the auto-ordering feature.

Note: Resources can only include query parameters if manual resource ordering is enabled.
