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.
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>
