David Briars Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I am running the following code in 8207.28.07: -TYPE &IBIF_Fex I then proceed to type in text in the prompt text box: image.png959251 14.2 KB I then obtain the following error page: Here is the view source of the error page: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script id="ibi-XMLENFORCE" type="application/xml"> <Prevalidate> <Status passed='false' /> <FailedVariables> <Variable name='IBIF_Fex' value='anything' text='The Value of this Variable is Invalid! ' title='IBIF_Fex' /> </FailedVariables> </Prevalidate> </script> </head> <body> <br/> The Value of this Variable is Invalid! 'IBIF_Fex' </body> </html> So, for some reason, WebFOCUS 8207 seems to be working hard, behind the scenes to validate the variable. This code was written in ran ok in 7.7. The code was then migrated to 8007, and then 8105M, were it also ran ok in each release. Any ideas at all on how to relax WebFOCUSs scrutiny I realize in the example I am showing, a -DEFAULT would help to fix, however, in my actual case adding -DEFAULTs or renaming the variable would not be practical, for many reasons, only one of which this is inherited legacy code.

SATHEESH B Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 There is a security validation added in 82 to restrict the parameter . you can white list the parameter or you can set the validation to log only from the admin console --> validation image.png1465728 67.4 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Briars Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Thanks Satheesh. Yep, that is exactly what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
