Issue/Introduction

After upgrade to 24.1. AEWS  gives 404 errors via browser and/or  via WebUI Agent Inventory.

https://<autosyswebserver>.<example>.<com>:9443/AEWS/schema , Not found error

 

HTTP Status 404 – Not Found

 

 

 

Cause

Prior to the AutoSys 24.1 upgrade, in the older version, $AUTOUSER/webserver/conf/web.xml  had HSTS header enabled (this is not a default option)

                <init-param>
                        <param-name>xssProtectionEnabled</param-name>
                        <param-value>true</param-value>
                </init-param>

 

But AutoSys 24.1 gets distributed with Tomcat 11.  And in Tomcat 11, the above option is now deprecated. 

 

Resolution

1) Backup $AUTOUSER/webserver/conf/web.xml 

2) Edit the original file and look for 

                <init-param>
                        <param-name>xssProtectionEnabled</param-name>
                        <param-value>true</param-value>
                </init-param>

3) Delete the four lines above, save and restart AutoSys Web Server

4) Retest https://<autosyswebserver>.<example>.<com>:9443/AEWS/schema  via browser or validate that Agent Inventory works fine via WebUI
