Issue/Introduction

While accessing admin console using apache http server, blank page is displayed in the browser.

In admin log, error message "Invalid host details found in the header details" is displayed.

Environment

Release : 9.1 SP2

Component : Symantec Strong Authentication (Arcot WebFort)

Resolution

Symantec-AdvAuth-9.1.02-DE530884-HotFix is released to resolve the issue.

In this patch, we have made the change generic to all customers by adding a new parameter in the adminserver.ini file through which they can enable/disable the http redirect functionality.
