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.
