You can add one or more custom HTTP headers to a SOAP response. Use the custom HTTP headers to pass additional information such as authentication details or location of the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) policy reference file.

To add a custom HTTP header to a SOAP response, perform the following tasks:

Create a configuration file in the following directory and name it as
ssahttp.xml
:
On Windows:
<MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>\bin
On UNIX:
<MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>/bin
Add the following entries to the
ssahttp.xml
file:
<httpProtocol>
   <customHeaders>
      <add name="<Header Name>" value="<Header Value>"/>
   </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
Replace the following entries with appropriate values:
Header Name
Name of the header
Header Value
Information that you want to add to the response.
For example:
<httpProtocol>
   <customHeaders>
      <add name="X-Custom-Header" value="Passed"/>
   </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
Save the file and close it.

A running server rereads the configuration file by using the following flush command and adds the custom HTTP header to the response message:

On Windows:
%SSABIN%\ssashut -h%SA_XMHOST% -f
On UNIX:
$SSABIN/ssashut -h$SA_XMHOST -f

An example response is as follows:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 03:28:54 GMT
User-Agent: Informatica-IR/9.5.4
X-Custom-Header: Passed
