- Open the web.xml.orig file with a text editor.
- Remove the following <filter> and <filter-mapping> elements:
<filter>
<filter-name>RefererWhiteListFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.sas.ci.services.common.http.filters.RefererWhiteListFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>RefererWhiteListFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
- Save the file.
