Security and the Request Forwarder
The request forwarder allows specific requests to be forwarded to the cluster controller in load-balanced environments. The request forwarder also forwards misrouted requests for session-state enabled applications.
Security Implications for the Request Forwarder
In accordance with the security principle that all unnecessary code be disabled, it is recommended that you turn off request forwarding if it is not necessary for the correct operation of your cluster and applications.
