URI for local response redirection

The local-response-redirect-uri stanza entry in the [local-response-redirect] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file specifies the location (URI) of the custom application that provides the response handling service. WebSEAL uses this URI to construct the value of the Location header required by the HTTP 302 response.

The server used for local response redirection can be a junctioned server or an entirely separate server.

The format of the URI value for the local-response-redirect-uri stanza entry can be absolute or server-relative. Server-relative URIs must contain an appropriate junction name.

In the following example:

• jct is the name of the WebSEAL junction
• redirect-app is the name of the custom redirection application
• response-handler is the name of the custom response handling service (such as a servlet, JSP, or CGI)

[local-response-redirect]
local-response-redirect-uri = /jct/redirect-app/response-handler

The local-response-redirect-uri stanza entry must be specified when enable-local-response-redirect = yes.

We can customize this configuration item for a particular junction by adding the adjusted configuration item to a [local-response-redirect:{junction_name}] stanza.

where {junction_name} refers to the junction point for a standard junction (including the leading / character) or the virtual host label for a virtual host junction.
