    CA Single Sign-On Tech Tip by Julien Nitot, Senior Support Engineer for 09.09.2014

     

    Problem:

    Using Federation, Siteminder as IDP and doing SP initiated transaction.
    Tomcat/Jboss as Servlet engine to run the AffwebServices application and mod_jk module.

    After correctly Posting credential to the login.fcc, getting an HTTP 413 - Request entity too large in the apache http access log

     

    ***.YYY.ZZZ.VVV - - [day/month/year:05:13:47 -0400] "GET /affwebservices/redirectjsp/redirect.jsp?SAMLRequest=XXXX&RelayState=VVVV&SMPORTALURL=https%3A%2F%2Fidp.com%2Faffwebservices%2Fpublic%2Fsaml2sso HTTP/1.1" 413 367


    Solution:

    found the same error:

    http://builddeploy.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/resolving-http-error-413-request-entity.html?_sm_au_=iVVQRTH576RrnvVM

     

    Checking the mod_jk.log
    increase the maximum AJP packet size in Tomcat fix the problem.

     

    Hope it helps whenever you have a similar problem.
