Append the Original Affiliate Destination to the NoAccessURL

The AppendTarget attribute instructs the SAML Affiliate Agent to add the original target URL at the consumer to the NoAccessURL as a query parameter.

To add the target URL to the NoAccessURL element, specify the following:

<NoAccessURL AppendTarget="yes">

By setting AppendTarget to yes, the SAML Affiliate Agent appends the word Target followed by the target URL to the NoAccessURL value. For example:

http://122.123.1.1:70/badaccess.html?Target=http://www.affiliate.com/
realmf/page1.html%3fparam=one%26param2=two

In the target URL, the SAML Affiliate Agent encodes the hook (?) character as %3f and the ampersand (&) character as %26. This is standard URL encoding, and it ensures that the Web browser interprets the target URL as one value. If the characters are not encoded, the browser may parse the elements.
