Restrict Directory Browsing on a Sun Java System Server

To help ensure that users who try to browse the directories of a Sun Java System web server are challenged by SiteMinder, you can set the following parameter:

• DisableDirectoryList

  Specifies whether the Web Agent allows a user to view or browse the contents of a directory without challenging them first. This occurs when all of the following conditions are true:

  • The realm is set to protect a root resource (/)
  • The default web page in the directory (such as index.html) is renamed or deleted.

  Default: No

To restrict directory browsing on a Sun Java System server

1. Add the DisableDirectoryList parameter to your Agent Configuration object or your local configuration file.
2. Set the value of the DisableDirectoryList parameter to yes.

   Directory browsing is restricted. SiteMinder challenges users who try to browse directories.
