Error page for incorrect protocol

This configuration step applies only when delayed certificate authentication has been enabled.

WebSEAL provides a default HTML page containing an error message to be displayed when an authenticated user attempts to increase the authentication strength level to certificate authentication from an HTTP session. Users attempting to increase the authentication level to certificate authentication must use the HTTPS protocol.

Administrators can choose to use the default error page, customize the error message, or specify an entirely different customized error page. Typically, administrators use the default page but might customize the contents of the error message.

Administrators who choose to create a new HTML error page must edit the WebSEAL configuration file to indicate the location of the new page.

The default WebSEAL configuration file entry is:
