How can we restrict access to CLM/RQM to validated browsers?
We have validated a couple versions of Firefox for use with RQM. However, I notice (in Jazz Monitor output) that users are accessing RQM using a variety of non-validated browsers. We are using Tomcat to host CLM/RQM. How can we configure Tomcat to block access from non-validated browsers?

I'm not aware of any 'built it' way to accomplish (others my chime in); in theory , you could set up a filter based on the User-Agent string User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0This may be a helpful link http://www.tomcatexpert.com/ask-the-experts/useragentvalve "By examining the user agent string, it's possible to filter out specific browsers and versions. IE strings are found here. The user agent string is sent from browsers as a HTTP request header with every HTTP request. It's also available via javascript for client side code. On the server side, one way to filter is by writing a custom Valve which examines the user agent string. However, Valves are Tomcat specific, and are relatively rare in the field. So writing a valve may lead to code maintenance issues in future." Paul Spalitta selected this answer as the correct answer
