Symptoms

When session tracking is enabled and configured to enforce usernames for a specific list of login URLs, the username which arrives in an Authorization header is being enforced even if the request to the URL with the Authorization is not configured at all as a login URL.

Impact

Username from the Authorization appears with status = BLOCK-ALL in the session tracking status list, even though session tracking is not configured for that URL.

Conditions

Session tracking is enabled for login URLs with the Username Threshold set to 1.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Username from the Authorization not appearing with status = BLOCK-ALL in session tracking status list.
