As part of the Web application environment, the SAML Affiliate Agent submits default HTTP headers to the Web server, which in turn, makes them available for Web applications. You can use these headers to include functions and enable your Web applications to personalize content. Headers can store information such as a user’s name and the type of action a user is authorized to perform.
The Agent sends these headers regardless of whether or not they are called from a Web application.
The following table lists the default HTTP headers issued by the SAML Affiliate Agent.
