| TAC Note |
A fixed bug will cause Unity will return 403 from platform
due to prohibition of x-referrer-header set by the tool when
request redirected to any cluster. This is fixed in
11.5SU6 onwards and 12.5 releases and 10.5SU latest where we
have allowed the clients to redirect to unity with this
header and also can add other domains under Enterprise
Parameters if you want redirection from other custom
domains. Details here: https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvm94607/?rfs=iqvred. |

What is this and why is it Cool?
| What is the web client redirection service and why do you want it? In short it provides a very simple way to have one URL for your end users that logs them into the PCA and/or Web Inbox no mater how many servers you have in your network - plus it load balances between the pub/sub pair of your clusters automatically and provides redundancy.

| Redundancy, load balancing and user moves, oh my! A deeper look into how the service handles cluster pair states, follows users if they "hot mode" move around your site and what, exactly, "redundancy" for server find functionality means and how its implemented. | Play Video - 22 minutes |
Service Details and Technical Overview
| How is the service doing what it's doing? Goes into detail about what's going on during the client authentication process, showing both client and server side HTTP traffic using Fiddler and explains the logic for the process from the first client request to the point where the client is redirected to the target server page pre-authenticated.
