This article is no longer necessary, thanks to OOTB behavior available in ISAM 9.0.6 and later. See details here. In order to clean up the instantiation URLs generated by the authentication service, you can use a ISAM HTTP transformation rule. I've just completed two examples of this. Remove PolicyId static prefix: No static Prefix This... Continue Reading →
OAuth Auth – Credential Enrichment and HTTP Header Sending
If you wanted to add HTTP Headers to the junctioned request, similar to how the old OAuth EAS used to. For example sending the Client ID, or the Token details as HTTP headers, there is an easy way to do this from the OAuth Mapping rule. Here I am not only adding things like the... Continue Reading →
ISAM create a new OTP Mechanism
I wanted to make a new OTP Mechanism that was called by a JavaScript REST call - that wasn't the SMS mechanism in the box. In this example - I tested it with Boxcar - an iOS App that lets you send Push notifications with a simple REST call. To add a custom mechanism to... Continue Reading →
ISAM Mapping Rules – Accessing Server Connection Details
With the release of ISAM 9.0.2.1, it's now possible to access connection details from an appliances Server connection in a JavaScript mapping rule: This means you can now write more portable mapping rules, where the configuration details for an environment can be stored in appliance level configuration, rather than your mapping rules. Accessing the values... Continue Reading →
Get Headers and Cookies in JavaScript InfoMap Mechanism

Since the infomap module is a little bit different, I have included an example of how you can do it there: Here is the output into my MACRO for easy debugging: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh;...

Password Reset with ISAM User Self Care
In ISAM 9.0.2, we released native appliance based capabilities to perform User Self Care Operations with ISAM. The user self care operations are built using the authentication service which means operations are modular, can easily be reordered or customised to suite your flow. Out of the box, there are three USC operations included: USC Account... Continue Reading →
Commonly Overlooked ISAM Settings for production deployments
The ISAM Reverse Proxy has a wealth of settings that can be configured. This means that almost every deployment situation can be catered for, but also means that its easy to overlook some settings that may give you grief. In this post, I've decided to capture some of the more important ones to help you... Continue Reading →
ISAM Selective use of Local Response Redirect
In ISAM using the Local Response Redirect capability has traditionally been overkill when using it for an EAI for a login operation. The reason being, almost any error or management page that is traditionally handled by ISAM now gets redirected to your EAI. Including Login operations, Logout page, Stepup and other authentication related operations. It... Continue Reading →
ISAM for Web – Different login pages per junction
Update 15/05/2015: It would seem that I may have over complicated this, we have a ISAM feature to do this already! 🙂 Apparently since TAM 6.1.1 we can use static management and error page templates per junction, as stated in the following technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21587936 So feel free to choose your own adventure!
