When the WebSEAL instance is configured and if any additional proxies are included, their host names must be added as well. Presence of this parameter will cause the TAI to evaluate the VIA header and only handle those requests that contain one of the provided host name, and port combinations. This value is case-sensitive and may be a comma-delimited list if more than one host name is provided

    • Default value

      No default value

    • Default value

      wpsadmin

    • Examples

      :

  • wp.ac.impl.TAICreds

    • Description

      This value is the headers inserted by WebSEAL that the TAI uses to identify the request as originating from WebSEAL.

    • Default value

      iv-user,iv-creds

    • Examples

  • wp.ac.impl.checkViaHeader

    • Description

    • Valid values

      true

      false

      false

    • Examples

      None available

  • wp.ac.impl.viaDepth

    • Description

      This value is a positive integer that specifies the number of source hosts in the VIA header to check for trust.

The VIA depth property is used when only some of the hosts in the VIA header have to be trusted. The setting indicates the number of hosts that are required to be trusted.

    • Default value

      0

    • Examples

      :

  • wp.ac.impl.ssoPwdExpiry

    • Description

      After trust is established for a request, the single sign-on user password is cached, eliminating the need to have the TAI re-authenticate the single sign-on user with Tivoli Access Manager for every request. You can modify the cache timeout period by setting the single sign-on password expiry property to the required time in seconds. If the password expiry property is set to 0, the cached password never expires.

    • Default value

      600

    • Examples

      None available

  • wp.ac.impl.ignoreProxy

    • Description

      This property can be used to tell the TAI to ignore proxies as trusted hosts. If set to true the comments field of the hosts entry in the VIA header is checked to determine if a host is a proxy. Remember that not all proxies insert comments in the via header indicating that they are proxies. If the checkViaHeader property is set to false, then the ignoreProxy property has no influence in establishing trust.

    • Valid values

      true

      false

    • Default value

      false
