After you apply the current version of any the following hot fixes:

     913WEBINFRAKIT
     31WEBOLAPVR
     31CITATNWEB
     31WEBRPTVR

SAS® Financial Management, SAS® Strategic Performance Management, SAS® 
Human Capital Management and the Campaign Web Studio interface for 
SAS® Marketing Automation might generate messages like the following 
in the Managed Server log for those applications.

   ** UrlReplayBlockerFilter: SECURITY ACCESS VIOLATION **
   The requested URL (/Portal
   can only be directly accessed from another SAS application, typically
   the SAS Information Delivery Portal

   ** UrlReplayBlockerFilter: SECURITY ACCESS VIOLATION **
   The requested URL (/Portal
   can only be directly accessed from another SAS application, typically
   the SAS Information Delivery Portal

In addition to the messages above, users will not be able to navigate 
throughout the products as needed because the URLs are not being
processed correctly.

This is a result of a fix to the problem documented in SN-020591
included in the hot fixes listed above.

To disable the fix that generates the messages and to return to the
pre-hot fix behavior, remove the UrlReplayBlocker filter and filter-
mapping entries in the files listed at the end of this document.  Once
all the files have been modified, re-run the configuration and
deployment process.  The two sections of code that need to be removed
are illustrated below.

PLEASE NOTE:  By following these steps, the security fix documented in 
SN-020591 will be disabled.


<filter>
    <filter-name>UrlReplayBlocker</filter-name>

<filter-class>com.sas.webapp.servlet.filters.UrlReplayBlockerFilter</filter-class>
    <!-- uncomment to allow bip session id pass through filter if there
is no SessionContext map id parameter 'saspfs_sessionrequest'
    <init-param>
        <param-name>less-secure</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    -->
</filter>

and

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlReplayBlocker</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

For each of the hot fixes that have been applied to your system, the
following files should be modified using the instructions above:

Note: If you apply a new hot fix for 913WEBINFRAKIT, 31WEBOLAPVR,
31CITATNWEB, or 31WEBRPTVR, the files you modify to allow the
UrlReplayBlocker filter to work with the specified solutions will be
overwritten.  Keep this note for future reference so that you remember
to modify these files.
