Siteminder override cookie from client

[Nissim Nago]

Hi,
I have a client sends a cookie (ROUTE=1) within a protected URL via SPS
I would like to override this cookie value, received from the client, and send the new cookie value (ROUTE=2) (value is being taken from LDAP user attribute), towards the back-end server in the policy (siteminder)
I tried to use the response of WebAgent-HTTP-Cookie-Variable but it seems not to send the cookie to the back-end (only back to the web client)

Should be like this:
Client (send ROUTE=1) -> SPS (policy agent replace to ROUTE=2 and send it to back-end) -> Back-end (receive only ROUTE=2 cookie)

------------------------------
Thanks,
Nissim

Hi Nissim,

Indeed, the response will go to the browser, not the backend server.

On CA Access Gateway (SPS), you have filter you can customize to send
specific elements to the backend server :

How Access Gateway Processes Custom Filters

The Filter API provides a method for developers to insert
processing before a request is passed to a destination server, as
described in step 2 of the preceding process [...]

I hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Patrick
