attribute_pattern

Use the attribute_pattern stanza entry with a value of refresh to specify failover cookie attributes that WebSEAL must refresh rather than preserve.

attribute_pattern = refresh

Description

A list of failover cookie attributes to omit from the recreated user credential.

This list is not needed in all configurations. The default behavior when WebSEAL recreates a user credential is to omit all attributes that are not specified with a value of preserve.

In some cases, it might be necessary to specify an exception to a wildcard pattern matching to ensure that a specific attribute gets refreshed, not preserved. To do so, configure the pattern with the value refresh. This specification might be necessary, for example, when we are using a custom external authentication C API module.

The order of entries in the stanza is important. Rules (patterns) that are listed earlier in the stanza take precedence over the entries that are listed later in the stanza.

Options

attribute_pattern	The attribute pattern is a not case-sensitive wildcard pattern.
refresh	Specifies an exception to a wildcard pattern matching to ensure that a specific attribute gets refreshed, not preserved.

Usage:

Entries in this stanza are optional.

Default: None.

Example:

tagvalue_failover_amweb_session_id = refresh
