Running the Cache Agent causes a "403 Forbidden by Rule" error
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When the Cache Agent daemon runs, it generates a "403 Forbidden by Rule" error in the errorlog.
 
Resolving the problem
When the Cache Agent is run by the ibmproxy daemon to refresh the cache, it generates a "403 Forbidden By Rule Error" in the errorlog and does not complete refreshing the cache.

This error occurs because in WebSphere® Edge Component 5.0.1, the proxy rule Proxy http:* was, by default, turned off to address security concerns. To enable the Cache Agent to work, you must uncomment the rule Proxy http:* in the ibmproxy.conf file.
