Tech Tip : CA Single Sign-On : DATA%20BLOCKED due to BadFormChars 

Jun 11, 2018 02:53 AM

Issue:

 

We are getting an error with DATA%20BLOCKED while trying to access a protected resource:

[10/04/2017][23:37:54][10789][21][CSmHttpPlugin.cpp:657][CSmHttpPlugin::ProcessResource][0000000000000000000000000abbb50f-2a25-59d562c2-0015-06cc5a3f][xx.yy.zz.aa][][wa_abc_portal_xyz][][][Resolved URL: '/portal/login/loadLogin.do?smauthreason=0&target=DATA%20BLOCKED'

We are using custom login.fcc which is encoding the target.

How can we resolve this?

 

Environment:

 

WebAgent : R12.52 SP1 CR06

 

Cause:

 

The issue occurs when the fcc is URLEncoding the target, and the encoded characters are set in the ACO parameter "BadFormsChars"

 

Resolution:

 

If you don't want the bad form char characters to apply, please set the parameter to an empty value.

BadFormsChars="" - No characters are encoded.

 

Solution Document: QO97363
By default they are all set (i.e. BadFormsChars="<,>,&,"").
