v
Short

server
WebSEAL
identifies
absolute
URLs
to
filter
based
on
its
knowledge
of
the
back-end
junctioned
server
name.
Depending
on
your
network
environment,
the
–h
short-name
configuration
might
not
provide
WebSEAL
with
sufficient
information.
In
the
following
example,
a
junction
is
created
using
the
following
option
and
argument
for
a
back-end
server,
located
in
the
ibm.com
network,
with
a
short
name
of
“xyz”:
-h
xyz
A
link
on
an
HTML
page
from
this
server
appears
as
follows:
http://xyz.ibm.com/doc/release-notes.html
When
this
page
passes
to
the
client
during
a
request,
WebSEAL
might
fail
to
filter
this
URL
because,
based
on
the
information
provided
by
–h,
it
could
not
recognize
“xyz.ibm.com”
as
the
server
name.
Without
the
junction
name
in
the
path,
a
request
for
the
release
notes
document
fails.
To
support
proper
filtering
of
static
absolute
URLs,
the
“best
practices”
recommendation
is
to
always
use
the
fully
qualified
domain
name
of
the
junctioned
server
in
the
–h
option
when
creating
or
adding
the
junction.
