    i wonder if this something CA can provide to the community? it's a typical header dump that can be in jsp or php. the url we would use is http://support.ca.com/headerdump or something similar (https://communities.ca.com/web/ca-identity-and-access-mgmt-distributed-global-user-community/headerdump)

    Hi All,

    I suspect this isn't a question related to the Security Distributed products. Questions related to the MyCA Community sites should be directed to the MyCA Feedback Community. We have folks on the team who address queries such as this. Hopefully that helps.

    Thanks!
    Chris

    You can see all header generated in a browser by accessing a JSP/ASP/PHP or any page that will dump the headers.
    You can find some samples on the web by googling ...
    http://www.roseindia.net/jsp/request-header-jsp.shtml
    http://www.plus2net.com/asp-tutorial/http-header.php
    You will see headers like

    HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL:no-cache
    HTTP_CONNECTION:Keep-Alive
    HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH:0
    HTTP_ACCEPT:image/gif, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-application, application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument, application/xaml+xml, application/x-ms-xbap, */*

    From my experience, I was not able to see those headers (Well know attributes populated by siteminder agent / policy server) in Fiddler ot other HTTP analyser tools. I always used either the test tool or and Header Dumper asp/jsp page to check the Header values.

    You can try a Firefox add-ons named "Live Http Headers"

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/

    Hi,

    It wont be in the SENT request.
    Also, Fiddler and other Proxy based HTTP Trace tools are vastly superior to the Browser Frame plug in.

    Use the Dump Page with the Proxy Based HTTP Trace.

    Also, SiteMinder Web Agent Trace Logging will report "setting custom..." when setting values.

    For more on the tracing, try this: https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/kbtech?docid=487843
