    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 22,23,24
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Multi-Tenant Direct, Dedicated-Direct, Local, TotalCare

    Description

    With the default Apache configuration it is currently possible to relocate to a different page using option /goto.

     

    Resolution

    In order to prevent uncertified relocation to a different page or Website, it is highly recommended that Aleph customers implement the following

    For customers not using Patron Directory Service (PDS)*
    1. Remove section <Location /goto> from the Apache configuration


    /alephe/apache/conf/httpd.conf

    <Location /goto>

      SetHandler   perl-script

      PerlResponseHandler Relocate

    </Location>

     

    Restart apache

    apcb

    ./apachectl_restart

     

    PDS customers

    Follow implementation notes of rc 3125 (Version 22)

     

    1) Verify that the file uncertified-host-goto-error exists under ./pds/html_form/global directory.

    If the file doesn't exist, run the following command:

    cp uncertified-host-error uncertified-host-goto-error

     

    2) Verify that ./pds/conf_table/general_conf file is configured with the allowed hosts:

     

    [ALLOWED_HOSTS]

    HOSTS = <my host domain>

    CHECK = Y

    [END]

    Additional Information

    How do I know if my institution is using PDS in the Aleph system?

    Check the configuration of 

    $alephe/tab/tab100

    PDS-AWARE=Y - your institution is using PDS - follow the instructions of 'PDS customers'

    PDS-AWARE=N - your institution is not using PDS - follow the instructions of 'for customers not using Patron Directory Service (PDS)'
