Bug ID 984589: Edge Client does not submit client_data after redirect

Last Modified: Aug 14, 2023

Affected Product(s):
APM-Clients APM(all modules)

Opened: Jan 18, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Two sessions are created for a single user.

Impact

Wrong policy is executed; VPN establishment may fail.

Conditions

Edge Client initiates connection to one APM which redirects it to a different APM (or virtual server).

Workaround

In the redirect ending, redirect to: https://main-vs/my.policy. To do so, perform the following: 1. Open the Visual Policy Editor for the Access Policy. 2. Select Edit Endings. 3. Select Redirect for the affected ending. 4. Enter the text: https://main-vs/my.policy 5. Select Save and Apply Access Policy. This causes Edge Client to connect to my.policy, and clear session deletion happens, with Edge Client attempting a completely new session by submitting client_data as well.

Fix Information

None
