Sun OpenSSO Enterprise Policy Agent 3.0 Guide for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0

Ignoring the Path for Not Enforced URLs (Optional)

The com.sun.identity.agents.config.ignore.path.info.for.not.enforced.list property indicates whether the path information and query should be removed from the request URL before it is compared with not-enforced URLs, when those URLs have a wildcard (*) character.

For security reasons, this property should be set to true, to avoid certain situations. For example, if a not-enforced URL such as http://host/*.gif exists, someone can access http://host/index.html by using the request URL http://host/index.html/hack.gif.

The default value for com.sun.identity.agents.config.ignore.path.info.for.not.enforced.list is true. If necessary, you can set is property in the OpenSSO Console.
