Symptoms

Set up an Authentication (or Authorization) Policy to retrieve ${request.res_host} value, per Documentation

• OAM 11.1.2.3.x, Home / Middleware / Oracle Access Management, Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management, 25.13 Introduction to Policy Responses for SSO, Table 25-30 Complex Responses
• OAM 12.2.1.3.x, MiddlewareIdentity Management (IdM)Access ManagerRelease 12.2.1.3, Administering Oracle Access Management, 25 Managing Policies to Protect Resources and Enable SSO, Table 25-30 Complex Responses

However, res_host does not hold the website domain hostname, instead, it shows the WebGate's Agent name.

In the Authentication's Response, tried to retrieve ${request.res_host}:${request.res_port}${request.res_url}
but the Header trace shows as my_webgate_name/my_protected_resource.html

• ${request.res_host} has returned my_webgate_name
• ${request.res_port} has returned 0 (zero)
• ${request.res_url} has returned my_protected_resource.html

Set up a policy to retrieve the res_host information and an HTTP Header and COOKIE, but see the same results

Expected the res_host and res_port returned to be the Website's host and port.
