  • 1.  CA SPS Error Redirect Response

    Posted Feb 17, 2016 12:39 PM

    Hi,

     

    I have one JSP1 that I protect with User Directory 1.

     

    Second JSP2 is protected using User Directory 2.

     

    The web agent I'm using is the SPS.

     

    User launches browser and accesses JSP1 and enters userDirectory1 credentials and successfully gets to JSP1.

    In the same browser, he now attempts to access JSP2. I get a web agent failed to process error.

     

    Below is the excerpt from the trace logs.

    It processes the SMSEssion cookie, but then the user is not authorized for JSP2 since he logged in using User Directory 1 credentials.

     

    Shouldn't the agent ideally respond with a login page challenge? From the trace logs it seems as though you can set a URL response for this error. Anybody know if that is possible? How can I get the agent to re challege the user in this case?

     

    Regards,

    Anand.

    Update :

     

    I also set a onAccessReject Redirect response on Failed Authorization rule on the realms and this never gets triggered.

     

    I only keep getting the Web Agent error and the same kind of messages in the agent trace logs. Any insight is deeply appreciated!

    You might want to split the second question into its own thread.   

     

    Regarding the first problem, A Fiddler Trace might be helpful.

     

    Regarding the second question, do you have the Allow Rule and the Failed Authorization Rule in the same Policy?  I would create two Policies:

     

    Domain: Domain1

    Realm: Realm1

     

    Policy 1:   AllowPolicy

    Rule: AllowRule 

    Users: Defined Users

     

    Policy 2: OnAccessReject-Policy

    Rule: OnAccessReject-Rule

    Reponse: OnAccessReject-Redirect Response

    Users: ALL

    Hi LAVST01

     

    They are in 1 policy. The allow policy and deny policy both allow all users. In that case does it make sense to split them?
