Last updated on OCTOBER 13, 2023
Applies to:
Oracle iPlanet Web Server - Version 6.1 to 7.0 [Release 6.1 to 7.0]Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
According to the iPlanet Web Server documentation, it is possible to create an ACL based on the 'Referer' header in the incoming request.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19146-01/821-1829/abwat/index.html
You can also define your own attributes for authentication. The following example shows how you could authenticate users based on an e-mail address or on the URL that referred them to the resource:
allow (read) referrer="*www.example.com*"
When an ACL is configured within the Web Server to use the 'Referrer' header in the incoming request, the request fails and a 500 response it sent back to the client.
