Support for back-end server-side applications

WebSEAL supports server-side applications that run on back-end junctioned servers and require client identity information as input. Examples of server-side applications include:

• Java servlets
• Cartridges for Oracle Web Listener
• Server-side plug-ins

When we create a junction to a back-end server using the -c option, WebSEAL inserts ISAM-specific client identity information into the HTTP headers of requests destined for that server. Headers include:

• iv-user
• iv-user-l
• iv-groups
• iv-creds
• iv-remote-address
• iv-remote-address-ipv6

The ISAM-specific HTTP header information enables applications on junctioned third-party servers to perform user-specific actions based on the client's ISAM identity.

See:

• Client identity in HTTP headers (-c).
• Client IP addresses in HTTP headers (-r).
