CA Secure proxy Server query string limit

    Hi All,

     

    Have a question regarding my Federation setup. CA secure proxy server is being used as Federation gateway. In my environment, I have been getting intermittent error 413 stating "Request entity too large".

     

    This is happening in case when during a Authn request from a service provider, there is a redirect to "/redirect/redirect.jsp" to get the base authentication session (SMSESSION).

     

    On the same page, after I am entering my credentials I am getting this error.I calculated the length of characters being passed in query string (SAMLRequest) in the Authn request and found it to be > 3000 characters. Wondering if that could be the issue?

     

    If above is true, what's the maximum length of query string that SPS (as federation gateway) can handle? Further is there some way we can change this value?

     

    Please suggest.

     

    Regards,

    Sanjay
