Disabling automatic redirection

About this task

To disable automatic redirection, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Open the WebSEAL configuration file for editing.
  2. Disable automatic redirection for each of the applicable authentication methods by commenting or removing the entry for each authentication method in the [enable-redirects] stanza:
    [enable-redirects]
    #redirect = forms-auth
    #redirect = basic-auth
    #redirect = cert-auth
    #redirect = ext-auth-interface
    #redirect = oidc

    Note that the hash character ( # ) is added to the start of each line. The example above disables automatic redirection for forms authentication, basic authentication, certificate authentication, and EAI authentication.

  3. Stop and restart the WebSEAL server.
