Issue/Introduction

We're running Identity Manager integrated with Policy Server. We've

configured a couple of Custom Headers in Responses to be returned as

Identity Manager Access Roles to the application. We have set those

Custom Headers to be recalculated every 30 seconds. However, after a

given User successfully logs onto the application and navigate to

another page within the same application, the User gets an application

error and he's not able to view the page. More precisely, we noticed

that the problem that after about the 30 seconds, the value in the

Custom Headers is no longer returned to the application.

 

Why do we have such issue ? How can we solve it ?

 

Environment

Release:
Component: SMPLC

Cause

Policy Server checks for the Realm OID in order to get the Domain and

then to get the Response to calculate. This is failing since the

realmOid was not set in the Method that was called earlier in the flow

to update attributes. Adding the setting of the realmOID fixes the

issue.

 

Resolution

Upgrade the Policy Server to 12.52SP1CR08 to solve the issue.
