CA Identity Manager CA Identity Governance CA Identity Portal

Issue/Introduction

The CA Identity Portal server.log file reports the following error:

ERROR [com.idmlogic.sigma.workers.utils.ExceptionsHelper] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-10) : org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException: Request method 'HEAD' not supported.

What is the origin of this error.

 

Environment

CA Identity Manager Suite/ Identity Portal 14.2

Cause

The HEAD requests were not coming from CA code

Resolution

The CA Identity Portal code does not generate HEAD requests.  

HEAD requests are primarily used for checking the validity of URLs as only the http headers are returned (body is not included).

We recommend checking external applications that interact with the Identity Portal environment, for example an external load Balancer.
