Configured Attributes Are Not Reaching Web Application

Symptom:

The attributes I set up are not reaching my web application.

Solution:

Check if the resource is defined correctly in the Policy Server, as follows:

• For CGI scripts, add the HTTP_ prefix to the attribute names when querying them from the application, for example, The attribute CAN_READ should be defined in the Policy Server as HTTP_CAN_READ.
• For Java servlets, make sure that HTTP_ is not added to the front of the attribute name.
• For ASP pages, parse the ALL_HTTP variables.

Using the SiteMinder Test Tool, check whether or not your attributes are displayed in the Attributes field of the Server Response group box.
