Redirection limit for this URL
I have just installed Portal Server 2005q1 on Linux RedHat 3.0update4 on a machine with also the SRAP (gateway) component on a separate machine.
When I try to connect to the Portal thru the gateway in HTTPS I have the following error :
" Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked"
I have this problem on Firefox 1.0.6 or Konqueror on Linux
and also on Windows XP. Of course I have un-blocked cookies, disabled popup blocking but it does not change anything.
On WinXP IE it's even worse because the URL seems to be looping and nothing happens.
Any clues ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Whenever I had such a problem, the destination host doesn't
recognize the session cookie.
I would check
Service configuration -> SRA Configuration -> Gateway ->
[Instance] -> URLs to which User Session Cookie is Forwarded
This should include the address of your portal server; i.e.
http://portalserver.domain.com:8081
In addition, I would check
Service Configuration -> Access Manager Configuration ->
Platform -> Cookie Domains.
I always add all domains that are used by the portal and it's
gateways.

After some research and some help from SUN colleagues, I have found a solution to this problem.
On the gateway (SRAP) server host go to the directory
/etc/opt/sun/identity/config (on Linux) or
/etc/opt/SUNWam/config (on Solaris)
and edit the file AMConfig.properties.
Change the value of the parameter
com.iplanet.am.cookie.encode
from false (default)
to true and restart the gateway server.
Everything works fine now !
