Re: Perl Authentication Handler and Cookie Issue

[Sumit Shah]

I printed out the contents of the Cookie attribute in the request header 
and I can see the cookie present in the header. I read all the contents 
into a hash and then try to check for its existence. The 
if(exists($hashMap{'SSOTokenID'})) condition fails. Does it have 
anything to do with data types? How can I check for its existence?

Here is the code snippet:
     my $cookie = $r->headers_in->{'Cookie'};
     my @cookieArray = split(";",$cookie);

     my %hashMap;
     my $cookieItem;
     foreach $cookieItem (@cookieArray){
               my @subArray = split("=",$cookieItem);
               my $key = $subArray[0];
               my $value = $subArray[1];
               $hashMap{$key}=$value;
     }
    my $k;
    my $v;
     while ( ($k,$v) = each %hashMap ) {
           $log->error("$k => $v");
     }
    
     my $token;
     if (exists($hashMap{'SSOTokenID'})) {
       # it exists
       $log->error("Token found");
       $token=$hashMap{'SSOTokenID'};
    }else {
       $log->error("Token NOT Found");
    }

The jsp pages are also handled by JSERV. I am not sure if JSERV is 
kicking in and consuming the headers. Is there a way to check which 
module is being executed and in what order?

Thanks. Yes, my handler gets invoked when I set it up as
PerlAccessHandler or PerlAuthenHandler but does not fetch any 
cookies. I
am not sure if it has anything to do with the requests (.jsp files) its
handling.
    

My guess is that something else is running first and consuming the 
cookie
headers so that later phases don't see them. What else is configured 
to handle
those .jsp pages?
