Product: LoadMaster

Platform: Any

Application: Any

Getting an access denied error when ESP is used and the root page "/" is requested in the URL. When accessing other services or directories of the application, access will be granted. 

• Create a HTTP/HTTPS Virtual Service
• Add a real server that has a web page running either on HTTP or HTTPS.
• Enable ESP and fill out the options as follow:
  • Client Authentication Mode: any type should work for this example.
  • SSO Domain: any SSO domain should work for this example. This can be left empty if no SSO domain exists.
  • Allowed Virtual Hosts: set this to "*.*" to allow all Virtual Hosts.
  • Allowed Virtual Directories: for our example, we will set this to /test. Any other URL can be used as needed. Regular expressions are also supported in this field.
  • The configuration should look similar to the one below:
  • 
• Navigate to your Virtual Service with the Allowed Dirtual Directories as the URL. 
• We should get a response when we specify the virtual directory:
• We should get an access denied when we specify anything else that is not configured in the Allowed Dirtual Directories field:

Add the root page "/" in the Allowed Virtual Directories under the ESP Options. The final configuration should look like the below:
