+* Additional CSRF Prevention
+
+ To help prevent cross-site request forgery, it is possible to enable a basic
check that the referrer is the current
+ site.
+
+ <Note:> This is only a generic solution that may prevent some types of
attacks but not others. It may cause problems
+ with certain user agents. By default, the check is off.
+
+ To enable the check, change the following configuration value in the
<<<struts.xml>>> file in the <<<WEB-INF/classes>>>
+ directory of the web application (2 locations):
+
+----
+<interceptor-ref name="redbackSecureActions">
+ <param name="enableReferrerCheck">false</param>
