Http header insertion with MSISDN

Hi
I know that we can define a http header insertion on the ACE to insert a custom header and a string in to the value. Is there a way for me to insert a dynamic string read from a database in to the value field. My exact requirement is to insert the MSISDN of mobile subscribers in to their http traffic. The MSISDN can be extracted form the Radius accounting messages
Any ideas, I have no clue as to how to do such a thing.
thanks

I don't know about this feature. I think it's not possible. ACE can insert/generate only cookie. All other L7 methods (e.g. http header) are using existing data in communication.
MSISDN inserting to http header/uri is role of wap-gw, or something like that device in data flow process.

HTTP header insertion problem with ACE

Hi
I try to configure the HTTP header insertion feature based on the action-list type modify http. Unfortunately it does not works.
The config looks like that
action-list type modify http TEST
header insert both Host header-value test:test.
I added this action-list to the correct policy-map.
When I checked the snifer output on the server side, there is no test value in the HTTP header.
I test the same feature based on the "insert-http" command in the policy-map and this one works.
Could anybody help me with this problem?
Thank you in advance
Regards
Lucas

Hi Lukas,
Add a new parameter-map named PRMAP_PERST_REBLNC and add this to the policy map using command appl-parameter http advanced-options PRMAP_PERST_REBLNC as shown below:
action-list type modify http test-insert
header insert both My-Header header-value test
header insert both SSL header-value TRUE
policy-map type loadbalance http first-match HtppInsert
class class-default
serverfarm linux1-80
action test-insert
policy-map multi-match SLB1
class VIP-122-80
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy HtppInsert
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
loadbalance vip advertise active
loadbalance vip advertise metric 1
connection advanced-options SetTos
appl-parameter http advanced-options PRMAP_PERST_REBLNC
parameter-map type http PRMAP_PERST_REBLNC
persistence-rebalance
Hope this will make all the packets are inserted with the http header not the first one only.
If it works then plz inform.
Kind Regards.

ACE One-Arm Source-NAT HTTP Header Insert

Hellow ACE Gurus,
This is probably a dumb question but I'm looking for info on HTTP Header Insert for SSL sessions. Does the HTTP header re-write action list work for SSL traffic? I guess I'm not clear on whether or not the header is encrypted and if the ACE can modify on an HTTPS session. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Rob

Hi Rob,
When using HTTPS, all the data is encrypted, including the HTTP headers.
In such a situation, if you want to insert headers (or do any other kind of L7 processing), you will have to configure the ACE to do SSL termination. Once the connection is decrypted, the ACE can do any processing it needs before sending the connection towards the server either in clear text or again using HTTPS.
I would recommend you to have a look at the link below. This is an example of how to configure an ACE for end-to-end SSL (so, HTTPS on both sides of the ACE). In the example, the only L7 processing that is being done is matching on the URL, but it would be enough to replace that part with whatever header insertion commands you need
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_configuration_example09186a00809c6f37.shtml
If you still need more help to understand any of the points involved in the process, please, do not hesitate to contact me again.

Src IP HTTP header insertion problem

I have configured a vserver to loadbalance to 2 proxy servers over TCP port 8080.
I use a policy to insert the source ip address of the client workstation to be
inserted in the HTTP header.
We use the same vserver to loadbalance HTTPS traffix.
Appearantly the CSM also tries to insert the ip address when HTTPS traffic
is passing this vserver.
Is this a correct beheavior? How can I solve this one?
Thanks!
Regards Wim

Actually mozilla lets you specify different ports for proxy http and proxy https.
Anyway, are the servers behing your CSM proxy servers ?
Do you have 'persistent rebalance" configured ?
If so, could you try to turn do 'no persistent rebalance' and see if that solves your problem.
Normally, https connection via a proxy are still done with HTTP connection with the request "CONNECT x.x.x.x:443" and the CSM should be able to inset the requested info.
But we need to avoid the CSM to inspect further packets as this would be ssl traffic -> so disable peristent rebalance.
Just an idea.

Gilles.

X-Forwarded-For HTTP header behaviour with web dispatcher

can anybody specify the behavior of Web Dispatcher regarding the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header?
When a client accesses SAP EP via proxy1, proxy2 and Web Dispatcher in
this order, is it guaranteed that the format of the X-Forwarded-For
HTTP header that I can refer at SAP EP becomes the following forms?
X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2
In other words, is it guaranteed by Web Dispatcher that the rightmost
IP address, proxy2 in this example, is the closest downstream client?
thanks in advance.

Hi Jane
I am not sure what exactly are you looking for but the following link is a general doc on administration of web dispatcher.Please see if this helps.

HTTP header setting withing XSQL

Is there a simple way to set an HTTP response header within an
XSQL or XSL file? Specifically, I would like to set the "Content-
disposition" header.
At the end of the day, I would like to have the results of an
XSQL query, after being formatted into a comma delimited format
by an XSL, be opened by an IE5 web browser according to the
associations of the filename suffix (eg: *.csv be opened
directly by MS Excel spreadsheet).
If I write my own servlet and use tomcat, I can accomplish this
by conditionally calling
response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"filename=queryresults.csv");
if a particular parameter is present in the request, followed by
forwarding the request to the XSQL servlet.
a) This custom servlet solution is more complicated than I'd
like it to be.
b) I would prefer to use the apache/jserv combination but am
having no joy figuring out how to forward a request to the XSQL
servlet after configuring it to service all *.xsql files with my
custom servlet (it's complaining that there's no method
getNamedDispatcher method in the servletContext object).
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt

See the online XSQL documentation at:
http://download.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/appdev.901/a88
894/adx10xsq.htm
and search for the words "then you can get access to the HTTP
Servlet's request, response"
there is a code example there of how to get access to the
response object that you need.

Adding HTTP Header parameters

Hi , Can someone please throw some light on how we can add a new parameter in HTTP header for a WSDL call. I will be using a Web-service adapter to invoke a wsdl and the requirement is to pass a HTTP Header parameter with each call, this parameter would be interpreted by an intermediary system before the call actually goes to target system.

In 10.1.3.5, there were several examples or samples in the Oracle BPEL folder. I think there were ones called HTTPGetService and HTTPPostService. You might check to see if they are still around.

Custom Inserted HTTP Header not showing up in Iplanet Logs

ALL:
I have some iPlanet Enterprise/6.0 web servers sitting behind a LoadBalancer. The LoadBalancer is setup in an 'one-armed mode', and takes a client HTTP request passes it onto the server, but during this process, changes the client source IP to that of local static IP that the LoadBalancer has. Due to our setup we cannot change this.
By changing the client source IP to a local address, we have lost any useful user session tracking that was done by source IP.
To get around this, I have the LoadBalancer inserting an HTTP header with the client real source IP. Reading the NSAPI Programmer's Guide (Table 7-1 "http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5686-10/07_magnu.htm"), there is an option "%Req->headers.headername%" that can be used with 'flex-int' to log any header value.
My output from snoop looks as follows:
HTTP: ----- HyperText Transfer Protocol -----
HTTP:
HTTP: GET /plugin.do HTTP/1.1
HTTP: OrigClientAddr:10.5.4.28
HTTP: Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*
HTTP: Accept-Language: en-us
HTTP: Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
HTTP: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
HTTP:
I have set the value to "%Req->headers.OrigClientAddr%" and it still does not show up in the log file. Any clues?
Works fine in Apache with:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{OrigClientAddr}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" headerinsert
CustomLog logs/access_log headerinsert

Always nice to find resolution to one's own question.
Fix was to change the header value to all lower case.
From:
"%Req->headers.OrigClientAddr%"
To:
"%Req->headers.origclientaddr%"

How to deal with the "Set-Cookie" field in HTTP header??

I follow the RFC-2616 specification to write a socket program to fetch web pages.
I have to deal with all the fields included in the HTTP header.
But the RFC-2616 doesn't talk anything about the "Set-Cookie" field.
Does anyone know how to handle this field or provide me any useful documentation.
Any help is appreciated.

A cookie is set with the "Set-Cookie: "-field in the http header, like this:
Set-Cookie: mycookie=someValue
This cookie should only be returned to the same host as it came from, like this in the http header of a request:
Cookie: mycookie=someValue
If the parameter looks like this:
Set-Cookie: mycookie=someValue; path=/cgi-bin
, the cookie should only be returned to the host if the request path starts with /cgi-bin
If the parameter looks liek this:
Set-Cookie: mycookie=someValue; domain=.mydomain.com
, the cooke should be returned to all hosts in the .mydomain.com-domain
There is also a "expires="-field, which works as expected and a "secure"-field, which I'm not sure how to handle. Maybe the cookie should only be sent to an SSL-enabled host?
Hope this helps you. Bye,
Dag W.

How to set HTTP header field "cookie" with http receiver adapter?

Hi,
I am using http receiver adapter (not axis) in a scenario. I could not set a parameter with key cookie in http header. Is there some kind of restriction to set it? I am able to set others like connection and create custom fields using ASMA and dynamic key configuration via UDF on mapping.
Could you please comment on, is cookie http parameter special or noneditable by PI's http adapter? I am looking for a solution without editing any abap code...
Regards,

I believe it is possible since axis adapter provides very same functionality. Let me summarize my scenario may be it helps:
I am trying to call series of webservice lets say in a BPM. First service (login service) will provide me with a session id (in http header with key Set-Cookie) then I will call another service which has that session id in its http header with key cookie then I am going to logout. So I am testing the second part now, but it doest let me send cookie http header parameter.
I hope I clarified a bit more my problem.
Regards,

Errors with Resource Adapter with data source as "http header"

hi Team,
The objective was to create a ResourceAdapter that will get accountid from http-header and automatically log me in. More like Siteminder, Tivoli Access Mgr.
In the adapter's "prototype.xml", I added this line.
"<AuthnProperty name='sauid' displayName='UserID in From Browser' formFieldType='text' isId='true' dataSource='http header'/>
I enable pass-through authn for "user-interface" app.
My test passes, when I login to "/idm/user". I am not prompted for uid/pwd instead I am
transparently logged and presented with self-service page, aka single-sign-on. so far so good.
But, I have an issue when when I login to /idm (not /idm/user) as configurator and then try to create a new user.....I donot see the set password fields in modify.jsp. This issue is only apparent if I set enable pass-through for user-interface. If I reset the user interface to default, which is userid/pwd, then I do see set-password-fields in modify.jsp.
Any leads on why this could be happening?

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx

Problems with http header "Content-Location"

Does anyone know how to override the
"Content-Location" http header. We are having issues with search engines and this header being returned from Apache/oc4j. In a nutshell, I have a site that uses the
Struts framework, where the actual urls submitted would be for example
(http://mysite/home.do), where ".do" is just a servlet mapping. When we have
tried to follow the one link that has been spidered, it actually contains
the full path that appears in the "Content-Location" header (i.e.
http://mysite/web-inf/jsps/bogus.jsp) which in this case can't even be
accessed. The feedback we get from third-party utilities that try to spider
the site is that it is stopping because it has already indexed "bogus.jsp",
which in reality will always appear since it is a template, where the actual
urls will be different as is above.
Because the "Content-Location" header is being returned to any
client hitting the site, search engine spiders stop indexing at the first page because the value in "Content-Location" is the same.
Solutions tried:
mod_headers in Apache - have tried "Header unset"
HttpServletResponse.setHeader()
Any help would be appreciated

Hi there,
i'm having a similar problem to this when trying to run some web page speed optimisation software...
i think the issue also causes problems with the Opera browser (although this may have been fixed in the latest version).
anybody any ideas how to stop the header being sent in the response?
many thanks,
Andy

How to send a signed SOAP message with additional HTTP Header fields

Our Partner's integration requirements are that we send them asynchronous SOAP messages, that are digitally signed, and whose HTTP headers contains 5 or 6 additional header fields, of which 3 or 4 will need to be dynamically set during the message mapping. I believe we can use the HTTP adapter for adding new fields to the HTTP header, but don't believe it supports signing. I believe that the SOAP adapter supports signing, but I'm not clear on how to use it to add fields to the HTTP header. What is the most straight-forward way to achieve both the signing of the message and the addition of the HTTP header values?
Thanks,
Kurt

>>>What is the most straight-forward way to achieve both the signing of the message and the addition of the HTTP header values?
Use Java mapping for both.
1) Signing the message
You can digitally sign the soap message using many standard api like WSS4j? or refer Java XML signature API which comes in Jdk1.6.
Refer these links
WSS4J - http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/axis.html
Java XML signature : http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/dig_signature_api/
2) >>whose HTTP headers contains 5 or 6 additional header fields, of which 3 or 4 will need to be dynamically set during the message mapping
Use Dynamic configuration API to set the additional header fields during message mapping.
