  • 1.  SecureURLs bypass for custom auth scheme response?

    Posted Dec 16, 2013 12:27 PM

    We have a custom auth scheme implemented which needs to redirect (302) to the TARGET URL including all original parameters and an additional flow parameter - as part of multi-factor authentication.  We need SecureURLs turned on, for XSS protection, yet we need a way to read the original parameters and the additional param on the client. 

    So we need a way to either decrypt SMQUERYDATA on the client, or to bypass SecureURLs on this custom scheme.  Are either of those options possible?

    Can we call $$smdecode(smquerydata)$$ inside the .fcc to achieve this?  So far this hasn't actually decrypted at all.

    Thanks, Craig

    You asked :

     

    • So we need a way to either decrypt SMQUERYDATA on the client, or to bypass SecureURLs on this custom scheme.  Are either of those options possible?

            Ujwol => No , neither of those options are possible.

    • Can we call $$smdecode(smquerydata)$$ inside the .fcc to achieve this?

            Ujwol => You can but, that will only decode it. It's still encrypted. It can't be decrypted.
