Starting with this release, fully qualified domain name (FQDN) mapping of HTTP requests can be disabled. In prior web agent releases, the methods employed for checking if a user is using a valid URL could not be turned off.
This checking capability is controlled by the FQDN default and the FQDN map properties in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file as follows:
A toggling capability has been introduced that allows FQDN checking to be turned off. The following property allows for this toggling:
The following property specifies whether the request URLs that are present in user requests are checked against the FQDN default and the FQDN map properties by the web agent:
The valid values are true and false.
The request URLs that are present in user requests are checked against FQDN values.
No checking occurs against FQDN values.
The default value is true. If no value is specified, then the default value, true, is used.
Benefit - Support for Turning Off FQDN Mapping: This feature allows you to turn off or on FQDN mapping comparison. This feature can be beneficial when a deployment includes a number of virtual servers for which the agent is configured using FQDN mapping.
