Environment

Novell Access Manager 3
Novell Access Manager 3.1

Situation

The browser displays the error:
 
"Attention
Status: 403 Forbidden
Description: Detected URL tampering
If this condition persists, please contact the helpdesk"
 
This error is displayed when trying to access a protected proxy.

Resolution

Check in both the local workstation host file and DNS, that the correct embedded service provider is being used.   What likely is happening is that the reverse proxy with the error is not part of the embedded service provider configuration that is getting the request.
