FCC Directive for Encoding Query Strings of Redirect URLs

You can encrypt the query strings of redirect URLs for credential collectors. The credential collectors provide the keys that are used to encrypt the query data.

For forms authentication schemes, the query string directive, smquerydata, is part of the FCC template. The agent serving the FCC uses this directive to send the encrypted query data to the target agent when the FCC is posted.

The following directive is used:

<INPUT type='hidden' name='smquerydata' value='$$smquerydata$$>

Note: If you are using custom FCCs, add the smquerydata directive with other FCC directives, such as TARGET to the custom FCC.

CA SiteMinder® 12.51 agents with the SecureUrls parameter enabled can operate only with credential collectors served from other agents that support this functionality.
