Update 78560 Prevents Use of Parameters in WebAgent.conf (90641/92184)

Symptom:

Update 78560 in SiteMinder Web Agent 6.0 QMR5 CR24 implemented white-list parsing so that only recommended agent parameters could be loaded locally from the WebAgent.conf file; others could only be read from Local Config.conf.

This fix in SiteMinder Web Agent 6.0 QMR5 CR24 prevented other parameters set in WebAgent.conf file from being loaded, even in environments in which the WebAgent.conf file used the following setting:

localconfigfile=WebAgent.conf.

Solution:

This issue has been fixed. If the localconfigfile is set to the location of the WebAgent.conf file, or not configured, all agent configuration parameters configured in WebAgent.conf are read.

Note: This configuration is it is not recommended; it is supported only for backward compatibility. If you do not need backward compatibility with SiteMinder Web Agent 6.0 QMR5 CR24, set your Local configuration parameters in a separate LocalConfig.conf file.
