Restrict Directory Browsing on an Oracle iPlanet Web Server

To help ensure that users who try to browse the directories of a Oracle iPlanet 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 Oracle iPlanet 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.
