Issue/Introduction

What is the maximum number of URLs that can be added to the Web Agent's IgnoreURL Agent Configuration Object (ACO) parameter?

Environment

All

Resolution

There is no limit to the number of characters that can be used in an ACO value, however, with ODBC policy stores, the max number of characters for any ACO parameter is 4,000.

Additional Information

LDAP policy stores are not subject to this limitation, only ODBC policy stores are affected. 

There is a workaround for the AgentName parameter when 4,000 characters are not enough to list all the needed entries.  Details are here:
Siteminder: AgentName ACO parameter characters limit in AdminUI.
