Modify the Tomcat catalina.properties File (Tomcat 6.0.18 or higher)

If you deploy Federation Web Services on an Apache Tomcat server 6.0.18 or higher, a configuration change for SAML POST and Artifact transactions is required. Add a configuration parameter to the catalina.properties file.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Tomcat_home/conf.

   Tomcat_home

   Specifies the installed location of the Tomcat application server.

2. Open the catalina.properties file.
3. Add the following configuration parameter in the "String cache configuration" section of the file:

   org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true

   The following sample shows the entries in the Catalina.properties file:

   # String cache configuration.
   tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.byte.enabled=true
   #tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.char.enabled=true
   #tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.trainThreshold=500000
   #tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.cacheSize=5000
   org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true
   

For Apache Tomcat 6.0.32 or later, add the following configuration parameter to the "String cache configuration" section of the catalina.properties file. This file exists in the Tomcat_home/conf. directory. Tomcat_home is the installed location of the Tomcat application server.

org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.ALLOW_EQUALS_IN_VALUE=true

The following sample shows the entries in the "String cache configuration" section of the Catalina.properties file:

# String cache configuration.
tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.byte.enabled=true
#tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.char.enabled=true
#tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.trainThreshold=500000
#tomcat.util.buf.StringCache.cacheSize=5000
org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.ALLOW_EQUALS_IN_VALUE=true
