Adding Custom HTTP Headers in the Spotfire Server Configuration

Other HTTP headers, such as Referrer-Policy, and Public-Key-Pins (HTTP Public Key Pinning / HPKP), do not have built-in commands to configure. They can be added as custom headers in the Spotfire Server configuration by using the following steps.

Procedure

Export the configuration to an XML file.

Open the configuration XML file in a text editor, and then add the following tag with content.

 <security>
    ...
    <headers>
      <directives>
        <directive>
          <action>add</action>
          <enabled>true</enabled>
          <name>headername</name>
          <value>value</value>
        </directive>
      </directives>
      <properties />
    </headers>

Replace headername with the name of the HTTP header and value with the header value, and, if needed, replace add with another action type.
The allowed values for <action> are:
- add
- append
- set
Issue config import-config --comment "HTTP header <action>" ( with <action> reflecting the appropriate action type).
Restart the server.
