trigger

Edit online

Use this trigger stanza entry to specify trigger URL strings for virtual host junctions. WebSEAL examines each server response to these trigger URLs to determine whether the response contains authentication data.

Syntax

trigger = http[s]://virtual-host-name[:port_number]/url-pattern

Description

Format for virtual host junctions. Specifies the trigger URL that causes WebSEAL to set a special flag on the request. Responses to this request also contain the flag, which causes WebSEAL to intercept and examine the response for authentication data in special HTTP headers.

For virtual host junctions to match a trigger, they must use the same protocol and the same virtual-host-name and port number as the trigger.

Options

http[s]://virtual-host-name[:port_number]/url-pattern: The trigger URL (format for virtual host junctions) that causes WebSEAL to set a special flag on the request.
Note: The url-pattern is case-sensitive. The rest of the trigger is not case-sensitive.

Usage

There must be at least one entry when eai-auth is not none.

Default value

None.

Example

trigger = https://vhost1.example.com:4344/jct/cgi-bin/eaitest/*
