Accommodate Legacy URL Encoding

The legacy URL encoding used by CA uses dollar sign ($) characters. If the dollar signs cause problems, you can make the Web Agent use hyphen (-) characters instead of dollar signs with the following parameter:

• LegacyEncoding

  Forces the Web Agent to replace any dollar sign ($) characters in legacy URLs with a hyphen (-). This also ensures backwards comparability with MSR, Password Services, and DMS. When this parameter is set to no, a Web Agent converts the string $SM$ to -SM-. When this parameter is set to yes, the Web Agent does not convert the dollar sign ($) character.

  Default: (Framework Agents) No

  Default: (Traditional Agents) Yes

To encode legacy URLs using hyphens instead of dollar signs, set the value of the LegacyEncoding parameter to no.
