[UB]Accessing encoded URLS throws 403: Forbidden (15709)

Description

A 403: Forbidden error is displayed when browsing to an application that contains an encrypted URL and is deployed on Oracle Web Server 7 on Windows 2008.

This is not a GlassFish Server problem, but is caused by a Web Server fix that disallows URIs with a ":" value.

Workaround

Modify the obj.conf file for the Web Server, as follows:

Replace:

PathCheck fn="uri-clean"

With:

<Client type="~magnus-internal/lbplugin">
PathCheck fn="uri-clean"
</Client>
