Goal

Oracle Access Manager 11g (OAM 11.1.1.5.x) How To Prevent URL Redirection to an Unwanted OAM Logout Landing Page

  • OAM has a feature using a query string "end_url" to redirect a browser to a landing page after logging out.  However a URL can be append either manually or programmatically to the end_url parameter and the browser will be redirected there. The OAM server performs the server side logout operations and redirects the browser to the URL specified in the "end_url" query parameter whether logged in or out, but this is not a desired behavior.
  • By default OAM server and the hostname variations for the WebGate host identifiers are automatically included.
  • So simply enabling oamSetWhiteListMode may be enough, but the URL enabled list maybe be broader, so using oamWhiteListURLConfig command allows adding additional URLs as needed.
  • Once oamSetWhiteListMode is enabled and any additional URLs are included using oamWhiteListURLConfig , OAM only allows the browser to redirect to the hostnames and URLs allowed.

The goal would be to only allow URLs expected and approved!
