Policy Agent for Apache 1.3.26 updates cache through polling mode only. By default, the following property in AMAgent.properties is set to false:

com.sun.am.policy.am.notificationEnabled = false

The user should not change this property to true for this Agent.

Fixed Problems

IBM HTTP Server 1.3.19

  • First value not displayed for objectclass attribute
  • Occasionally, the first value is not displayed for objectclass attribute that is added to HTTP LDAP header. (#4772908)

Known Problems

IBM HTTP Server Policy Agent

Error message not displayed when a null value or space is entered for installation directory.

During agent installation, if space or null value is entered for installation directory, the installation program proceeds without displaying any error message and the agent is installed in the default directory (/opt). (#4780331)

Lotus Domino Policy Agent

  • LDAP header attribute setting does not work in Policy Agent 2.0 for Lotus Domino.
  • Ensure that the AMAgent.properties file property com.sun.am.policy.am.fetchHeaders is set to false.

  • The Policy agent does not support upper case letters in URL. Domino Web Server converts all upper case letters present in URL to lower case letters. However, it supports mixed case letters in the Domino database (.nsf files).
  • Domino agent does not support more than one cookie set for cookie_reset_enabled property.
