HTML redirection

When a user successfully authenticates, WebSEAL typically uses an HTTP 302 response to redirect the user back to the resource that was originally requested. This process causes problems for applications that rely on HTML fragments as the fragment information is stored locally in the browser and is lost during redirection.

Alternatively, you can configure WebSEAL to enable HTML redirection. HTML redirection causes WebSEAL to send a static page back to the browser instead of a 302 redirect. The browser can then use JavaScript or any other code that is embedded in this static page to perform the redirect. WebSEAL provides the macro LOCATION, which contains the URL for the redirection.
