Set HTTP Header Syntax for Legacy Variables

The LegacyVariables attribute determines the syntax that the SAML Affiliate Agent uses for HTTP header names. The legacy syntax uses an underscore (_) between the SM prefix and the header name, for example SM_header_name. For some Sun ONE and IIS servers, the underscore may cause problems with certain applications. This attribute enables you to eliminate the underscore if it causes problems with your applications.

The default value is no, which instructs the Agent not to use the underscore, for example SMHeaderName.

To use the underscore, set this attribute to yes:

LegacyVariables="yes"

The header variables then use the syntax SM_HeaderName.
