PM03950: COMMON PROXY IS REMOVING '=' CHARACTERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When cookies (such as LtpaTokens) are returned from a remote
  server the common proxy is properly passing them back to
  the browser. However, when those cookies are sent back to
  the proxy it is stripping off any '=' characters on the end of
  the cookies before sending the cookies back to the remote
  server. In the case of LtpaTokens it is causing them to be
  invalid and the remote server is prompting us to
  re-authenticate.
  

Local fix

• None avaible.
