There are cases when the URLs in only part of a page or in some of the JavaScript or form can be rewritten and the rest must not be rewritten. When this is the case, you might need to modify the content on the web server. Although this deviates from the design behind Access Manager, you might encounter circumstances where it cannot be avoided.
You can add the following types of tags to the pages on the web server:
These tags are seen by browsers as a comment mark, and do not show up on the screen (except possibly on older browser versions).
NOTE:If the pages you modify are cached on Access Gateway, purge the cache before the changes become effective. Click Access Gateways > select the name of the server > Actions > Purge All Cache.
Page Tags: If you want only portions of a page rewritten, you can add the following tags to the page.
<!--NOVELL_REWRITER_OFF--> . . HTML data not to be rewritten . . <!--NOVELL_REWRITER_ON-->
The last tag is optional, and if omitted, it prevents the rest of the page from being rewritten after the <!--NOVELL_REWRITER_OFF--> tag is encountered.
Param Tags: Sometimes the JavaScript on the page contains <param> elements that contain a value attribute with a URL. You can enable global rewriting of this attribute by adding value to the list of variable and attribute names to search for. If you need more control because some URLs need to be rewritten but others cannot be rewritten, you can turn on and turn off the value rewriting by adding the following tags before and after the <param> element in the JavaScript.
<!--NOVELL_REWRITE_ATTRIBUTE_ON='value'--> . . <param> elements to be rewritten . . <!--NOVELL_REWRITE_ATTRIBUTE_OFF='value'--> . . <param> elements that shouldn't be rewritten
Form Tags: Some applications have forms in which the <input>, <button>, and <option> elements contain a value attribute with a URL. You can enable global rewriting of these attributes by adding formvalue to the list of variable and attribute names to search for. If you need more control because some URLs need to be rewritten but others cannot be rewritten, you can turn on and turn off the formvalue rewriting by adding the following tags before and after the <input>, <button>, and <option> elements in the form.
<!--NOVELL_REWRITE_ATTRIBUTE_ON='formvalue'--> . . <input>, <button>, and <option> elements to be rewritten . . <!--NOVELL_REWRITE_ATTRIBUTE_OFF='formvalue'--> . . <input>, <button>, and <option> elements that shouldn't be rewritten
