Environment

Novell Access Manager 3.1 Access Gateway Service
Novell Access Manager 3.1.4 Access Gateway Service

Situation

  • An Identity Injection policy has been defined on a "public" protected resource in order to inject a HTTP custom header e.G.: "X-USERID:".

  • If no value for the defined custom header could be retrieved while processing the injection policy (due to the fact a user which has not yet been logged in is accessing the resource) the Access Gateway Service will send an empty HTTP customer header X-USERID:

  • As a result the particular application server returns a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
