3.13 Adding HTTP Strict Transport Security

Change to the Tomcat configuration directory:

Linux: /opt/novell/nam/idp/webapps/nidp/WEB-INF

Windows Server 2008: \Program Files (x86)\Novell\Tomcat\webapps\nidp\WEB-INF

Open the web.xml file and add httpHeaderSecurity filter definition.

<filter>
    <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.HttpHeaderSecurityFilter</filter-class>
    <async-supported>true</async-supported>
</filter>

Add an appropriate maximum age value:

<init-param>
    <param-name>hstsMaxAgeSeconds</param-name>
    <param-value>31536000</param-value>
</init-param>

Add the filter mapping.

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>httpHeaderSecurity</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
