Not Enforced URL Processing properties

Ignore Path Info for Not Enforced URLs

When enabled, the path info and query are stripped from the request URL before being compared with the URLs of the not enforced list for those URLs containing a wildcard character. This prevents a user from accessing http://host/index.html by requesting http://host/index.html/hack.gif when the not enforced list includes http://host/*.gif.

	Note
	This setting is not supported by the Varnish Cache agent.

For a more generally applicable setting, see Ignore Path Info properties.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.ignore.path.info.for.not.enforced.list

Enable Regular Expressions for Not Enforced URLs (Not yet in OpenAM console)

Enable use of Perl-compatible regular expressions in Not Enforced URL settings by using the following property under Advanced > Custom Properties in the agent profile.

com.forgerock.agents.notenforced.url.regex.enable=true

Not Enforced URLs

List of URLs for which no authentication is required. You can use wildcards to define a pattern for a URL.

The * wildcard matches all characters except question mark (?), cannot be escaped, and spans multiple levels in a URL. Multiple forward slashes do not match a single forward slash, so * matches mult/iple/dirs, yet mult/*/dirs does not match mult/dirs.

The -*- wildcard matches all characters except forward slash (/) or question mark (?), and cannot be escaped. As it does not match /, -*- does not span multiple levels in a URL.

OpenAM does not let you mix * and -*- in the same URL.

Examples include http://www.example.com/logout.html, http://www.example.com/images/*, http://www.example.com/css/-*-, and http://www.example.com/*.jsp?locale=*.

Trailing forward slashes are not recognized as part of a resource name. Therefore http://www.example.com/images// and http://www.example.com/images are equivalent.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url

If you enabled use of Perl-compatible regular expressions to match Not Enforced URLs, then all your settings must be done using regular expressions. (Do not mix settings; use either the mechanism described above or Perl-compatible regular expressions, but not both.)

The following example shows settings where no authentication is required for URLs whose path ends /publicA or /publicB (with or without query string parameters), and no authentication is required to access .png, .jpg, .gif, .js, or .css files under URLs that do not contain /protectedA/ or /protectedB/.

.*/(PublicServletA|PublicServletB)(\?.*|$)
^(?!.*(/protectedA/|/protectedB/)).*\.(png|jpg|gif|js|css)(\?.*|$)

Invert Not Enforced URLs

Only enforce not enforced list of URLs. In other words, enforce policy only for those URLs and patterns specified in the list.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url.invert

Fetch Attributes for Not Enforced URLs

When enabled, the agent fetches profile, response, and session attributes that are mapped by doing policy evaluation, and forwards these attributes to not enforced URLs.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url.attributes.enable

Not Enforced IP Processing properties

Not Enforced Client IP List

No authentication and authorization are required for the requests coming from these client IP addresses.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.ip

CIDR Client IP Specification (Not yet in OpenAM console)

As of version 3.0.4, web policy agents with this property set to cidr can use IPv4 netmasks and IP ranges instead of wildcards as values for Not Enforced Client IP addresses. Version 3.0.5 adds support for IPv6, including the IPv6 loopback address, ::1.

When the parameter is defined, wildcards are ignored in Not Enforced Client IP settings. Instead, you can use settings such as those shown in the following examples.

Netmask Example

To disable policy agent enforcement for addresses in 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255, use the following setting.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.ip = 192.168.1.1/24

The following example shows an IPv6 address with a corresponding network mask.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.ip = 2001:5c0:9168:0:0:0:0:2/128

Currently the policy agent stops evaluating properties after reaching an invalid netmask in the list.

IP Range Example

To disable policy agent enforcement for addresses between 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.4.3 inclusive, use the following setting.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.ip = 192.168.1.1-192.168.4.3

The following example shows a range of IPv6 addresses.

com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.ip = 2001:5c0:9168:0:0:0:0:1-2001:5c0:9168:0:0:0:0:2

Property: com.forgerock.agents.config.notenforced.ip.handler

Hot swap: no

Client IP Validation

When enabled, validate that the subsequent browser requests come from the same IP address that the SSO token is initially issued against.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.client.ip.validation.enable

Profile Attributes Processing properties

Profile Attribute Fetch Mode

When set to HTTP_COOKIE or HTTP_HEADER, profile attributes are introduced into the cookie or the headers, respectively.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.fetch.mode

Profile Attribute Map

Maps the profile attributes to HTTP headers for the currently authenticated user. Map Keys are LDAP attribute names, and Map Values are HTTP header names.

To populate the value of profile attribute CN under CUSTOM-Common-Name: enter CN in the Map Key field, and enter CUSTOM-Common-Name in the Corresponding Map Value field. This corresponds to com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping[cn]=CUSTOM-Common-Name.

In most cases, in a destination application where an HTTP header name shows up as a request header, it is prefixed by HTTP_, lower case letters become upper case, and hyphens (-) become underscores (_). For example, common-name becomes HTTP_COMMON_NAME.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.profile.attribute.mapping

Response Attributes Processing properties

Response Attribute Fetch Mode

When set to HTTP_COOKIE or HTTP_HEADER, response attributes are introduced into the cookie or the headers, respectively.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.response.attribute.fetch.mode

Response Attribute Map

Maps the policy response attributes to HTTP headers for the currently authenticated user. The response attribute is the attribute in the policy response to be fetched.

To populate the value of response attribute uid under CUSTOM-User-Name: enter uid in the Map Key field, and enter CUSTOM-User-Name in the Corresponding Map Value field. This corresponds to com.sun.identity.agents.config.response.attribute.mapping[uid]=Custom-User-Name.

In most cases, in a destination application where an HTTP header name shows up as a request header, it is prefixed by HTTP_, lower case letters become upper case, and hyphens (-) become underscores (_). For example, response-attr-one becomes HTTP_RESPONSE_ATTR_ONE.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.response.attribute.mapping

Session Attributes Processing properties

Session Attribute Fetch Mode

When set to HTTP_COOKIE or HTTP_HEADER, session attributes are introduced into the cookie or the headers, respectively.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.session.attribute.fetch.mode

Session Attribute Map

Maps session attributes to HTTP headers for the currently authenticated user. The session attribute is the attribute in the session to be fetched.

To populate the value of session attribute UserToken under CUSTOM-userid: enter UserToken in the Map Key field, and enter CUSTOM-userid in the Corresponding Map Value field. This corresponds to com.sun.identity.agents.config.session.attribute.mapping[UserToken] =CUSTOM-userid.

In most cases, in a destination application where an HTTP header name shows up as a request header, it is prefixed by HTTP_, lower case letters become upper case, and hyphens (-) become underscores (_). For example, success-url becomes HTTP_SUCCESS_URL.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.session.attribute.mapping

Common Attributes Fetching Processing properties

Attribute Multi Value Separator

Specifies separator for multiple values. Applies to all types of attributes such as profile, session and response attributes. Default: |.

Property: com.sun.identity.agents.config.attribute.multi.value.separator
