  • 1.  POP before ACL for Maintenance Mode

    Posted Mon February 21, 2022 01:59 PM

    Hello,

    We have an reverse proxy on ISVA 10.0.2 where user needs to login to access protected resource which has a policy/POP which block access between 02:00 and 06:00 AM. 
    The problem is ACL is triggered as soon as user tries to access resource and login page is presented due to ACL. and after login POP is triggered and user is redirected to LRR page with ERROR_CODE=0x38cf08cc

    Here is the POP and ACL

    pop create pop_maintenance_mode
    pop modify pop_maintenance_mode set description "Use to set maintenance_mode on resources that requires authentication"
    pop modify pop_maintenance_mode set tod-access mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun:0600-0200
    pop modify pop_maintenance_mode set attribute document-cache-control public
    pop modify pop_maintenance_mode set attribute document-compression yes
    acl create all_authenticated_acl
    acl modify all_authenticated_acl set description "All LoggedIn Users"
    acl modify all_authenticated_acl set user sec_master TcmdbsvaBl
    acl modify all_authenticated_acl set group ivmgrd-servers Trl
    acl modify all_authenticated_acl set group iv-admin Tcmdbvarxl
    acl modify all_authenticated_acl set any-other Tr
    pop attach /WebSEAL/proxy_id/list_account/ pop_maintenance_mode
    acl attach /WebSEAL/proxy_id/list_account/ all_authenticated_acl

    How can I make sure that POP is triggered before ACL and instead of presenting login page use is redirected to maintenance mode page?

    I believe ACL always applies before POP. You could try making your login page served from an LRR trigger itself and apply the POP to that URL which has an unauthenticated allowed ACL attached. I have not verified this but that is what I would try first.
