Specify a custom P3P compact policy

As an alternative to setting values for the entries in the WebSEAL configuration file, we can specify the exact contents of the P3P header. This configuration can be useful, for example, when your compact policy string has been generated by another utility, and to use that string for the P3P policy.

To specify a custom P3P compact policy, complete the following steps:

Steps

1. Comment out or remove the predefined policy elements from the WebSEAL configuration file. For example, change the default WebSEAL entries to the following:

   [p3p-header]
   #access =
   #purpose =
   #purpose =
   #recipients =
   #retention =
   #categories =

2. Add the custom compact policy string to the p3p-element entry:

   [p3p-header]
   p3p-element =	CP="your_series_of_compact_policy_abbreviations"

   Any number of values can be added. The order of the values is not significant.
