Trying to understand security interceptor

Communities ColdBox HMVC

I would like to be able to secure any handler that begins with admin.
If it is just admin it works. If it is something longer it does not.
    <rule>
        <whitelist>admin.index</whitelist>
        <securelist>^admin\..*</securelist>
        <roles>Super Admin,Administrator,User</roles>
        <permissions></permissions>
        <redirect>admin</redirect>
    </rule>

This does not work.
addRoute(pattern="admin/manage-properties",
handler="adminmanageproperties", action="index");

Even though the handler starts with admin it does not get picked up. I
suspect that the reg ex is wrong. Thanks for your help.

your regex says it starts with admin followed by a period

You are trying to secure the SES and not the actual hander.

In your example the handler is actually adminmanageproperties and not admin.

Luis & Scott thanks so much. How can I make it be if any part of the
handler string contains admin?

Yhanks!
