Unable to get Request custom Client headers on dispatcher

Getting response as expected when hitting 'GET' request on Publisher with request custom headers "securitykey" and "assettype"

 

Getting 401 when hitting same GET request with same request headers on Dispatcher.

Client headers have been added in dispatcher clientheaders.

 

Client headers added

Tried :

Also tried :-

Dispatcher logs - don't see custom request headers in logs like securitykey or assettype although I am sure right farm file and client header file is getting picked . Log is already set to trace.

I want to ensure you are directly hitting the Dispatcher URL, not through CDN; in case you are hitting through CDN, the header may need to be whitelisted on CDN, also.

Also, ensure the correct dispatcher farm is resolved - the farm is enabled with the required client headers.

    Hello @digarg17 

     

    If instead of Curl, you use postman, is it the same behaviour?

      The first screenshot is the way to go, you should add the headers below the "/clientheaders" section. Did you bounce your dispatcher ? Can you try to hit a different resource (i.e. a page) with those headers?

        Hi @digarg17 ,
        Can you check if you have a filter rule enabled to allow "/enterprisedam/assetlist"?

            Hello @digarg17  - 

             

            Could you please double-check the Dispatcher configuration file (dispatcher.any) should include a section for clientheaders where you can specify which headers are allowed to pass through to the backend server ?
