Exempt redirection

At the top of the Redirector Rules window there is an “Exempt redirection for users with username containing” field. Use this field to ignore certain users when processing redirection rules. Text entered in the field is right-compared with the OS User Name passed by the desktop app. If the text in the field is found in the middle of OS User Name, that is not a match. The text in the field must appear at the right end of OS User Name for there to be a match. The character matching is not case sensitive. Comma-separated values are allowed.
When redirection is ignored for a desktop app, an informational record is written to the diagnostic log.
Examples:
OS user name
Exempt text

JSMITH.ADMIN

JOHN.SMITH

JSMITH.ADMIN.USER

Exempt text can be a .csv list.
