How to access .(dot)xxxxx file on Apache

[Akio UCHIDA]

Hello,

 

One of our users is using Apache with a web agent.

If a file name on Doumentroot starts with .(dot) and they try to access it, 500(Internal Server Error) error occurs.

But if they disable siteminder, they can access it without any errors.

 

So, is there any way to enable siteminder users to access .(dot)-start file?

Or, they have to change file names?

 

We looked over the below page but cannot resolve it.

Hi,
I think you should remove the .* in the BadUrlChars in the AgentConfigObject.
