Re: ACS changes "Destination Address" on session definitions

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did discover this:  I have 5 sessions that I start as a group, the first
3 are Bypass Signon and the other 2 are not.

The 3 with Bypass Signon had their Destination Address changed to the IP
address.

The 2 without Bypass Signon did /not/ have their Destination Address
changed to the IP address.  I logged on/off of those 2 sessions and the
Destination Address did /not/ get changed.

So evidently Bypass Signon has something to do with it.  We're at Version:
1.1.7.1 Build id: 7290.
