Managing Dispatcher Custom Header from Authoring Screen

[rohitp23277067]

Hi all,

Hope everyone good !

Wondering if there is a way to Manage Dispatcher Custom Headers from AEM Authoring Screen instead of making changes directly in dispatcher. we wanted to grant "Super Authors" to add / update any Custom Headers using Authoring Screen itself rather than asking DevOps help (since authoring team will not have access to clientheaders.any / dispatcher.any files). Updating Headers will be once in a while activity - but will take some burden from DevOps team.

See example here from Adobe site

https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-co...

Wondering if there is any OOB feature or anything from ACS Common which can achieve this.

I am using AEM 6.4

Hi,

I don't think there's anything that directly updates the dispatcher files, if that’s what you're asking. These are two separate areas for the sake of all of us. What is typically done is using Sling servlets to inject headers, but this is specifically for adding extra headers to a request. This approach is editable, and you could even create some sort of UI, but it doesn't go beyond that. Here’s an example of what I’m referring to: https://github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-commons/blob/master/bundle/src/main/java/com/ad...

Hope this helps
