PM22952: WCM LOGIN REDIRECT SHOWS BACKEND WCM SERVER HOST IF WEBSEAL USED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• WCM login redirect shows backend WCM server host if webseal used
  .
  When WCM needs user to login to WCM, the user is redirected to
  the WCM login page.
  The URL that the user was trying to access will be passed on the
  URL to the login page as the
  success parameter.  That way, WCM will know which page to
  redirect the user to once login is successful.
  .
  If a proxy server is desired, the WCM host will be exposed,
  because the incoming request will be to the
  backend WCM server.
  .
  After installing fix, in the WCMConfigService.properties, set
  the value for
  connect.usermanagement.useconfiguredsuccessparameters=true
  .
  This will cause WCM to use the configured value for
  connect.usermanagement.loginlagelocation value
  as host port and protocol
