Author Sticky Request for Client PC

2007-02-22, 7:20 am

Dear All,

We have a custom build application running on clustered WAS 6.0 with IHS as a proxy. We have come across a strange behaviour in past few days. When we copy our Application URL from the browser and opens it in an another PC, it opens up without authori
zation.

We have enabled URL rewriting mechanism and sessionid always attached with our URL. Our Application will not support cookies. Is there any way to prevent hackers doing malfuntion on our system?

Thanks & Regards,

Sridhar H

Do you have WAS security turned on? Presumably if you are not using
cookies you are using SWAM instead of LTPA? If so, this uses the session
for tracking security, so provided you have the jsessionid info on the
URL, what you are describing is likely what would happen. This is one
reason why SWAM is not recommended/.

use SSL, for a start. Then no-one can get access to the request in transit
