      Access Manager (NAM)

Environment

  • Access Manager 4.4.x
  • Access Manager 4.5.x
  • Access Manager 5.0.x

Situation

  • Micro Focus Access Manager IDP server seems to loose the fragment Identifier component "#" of the target URL during user login process

Resolution

  • The fragment identifier processing is happening on the client-side only. When browser agent requests a URI to from a given web server the fragment Identifier will not be part of this. Instead, the browser agent will process the return web object / page and then reference the fragment value which might result just in scrolling down to the referenced element.

  • Using a tool like Fiddler or using the Tomcat snoop jsp example will help to understand this scenario
