Hi Steph,

okay I see what you're trying to accomblish. Well, if you read the following guide...

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_asm/manuals/product/config_guide_asm_10_2_0/asm_wildcard.html

... you'll notice that the ASM policy does not support RegEx syntax. Instead it supports only a rather simple 

shell-style wildcard
syntax.

Note: Please link the guide which states that you have to put a 

/
in front of an 
*
to have it as an explicit character.

Cheers, Kai
