Using PUT or DELETE method on junctioned server

Question & Answer


Question

What are the requirements for proxying the PUT and DELETE methods to a back-end server

Answer

To pass the request to the server behind WebSEAL you can look into these options:

1.- Use a Transparent Path junction

2.- Make sure WebSEAL will first attempt to pass the request to a junction using JMT (junction mapping table) or the IV_JCT cookie, before processing the request on the root junction (which is typically on the local file system). This is done using the "process-root-requests = never" option

In order to allow the creation and deletion of objects, you will also need to ensure that the correct ACL's permissions bits are applied:

- d: Delete. Delete a file using the HTTP "Delete" method.
- m: Modify. Put a file in the web space using the HTTP "Put" method.

Please Note: The [server] http-method-disabled-remote entry must not include the PUT or DELETE methods. This entry was introduced in ISAM 7.0.
