Override Default Domain and Security Configurations

You may override the default domain and security configuration used by the HTTP Channel debug application by setting HTTP request headers, setting up a domain with the same name as the server host name, or by specifying the user name in a special format.

The following HTTP request headers can be set to override the default domain and security configuration name resolution mechanism:
  • X-SUP-DOMAIN: Set this to the SAP Mobile Platform domain name to overwrite the default domain derived for the URL.
  • X-SUP-SC: Set this to the SAP Mobile Platform security configuration to overwrite the default security configuration derived from the URL.
You may also override the debug application's default behavior without having to set HTTP headers:
  • Create and enable a SAP Mobile Platform domain with the same name as the SAP Mobile Platform server host name. Assign the security configuration to be validated to this domain. Also set it as the default security configuration for this domain. The next authentication request to the debug application is checked against the default security configuration assigned to this domain.
    Note: When both approaches are used simultaneously to specify a non-default domain, the X-SUP-DOMAIN HTTP request header takes precedence over the domain specified in the URL.
  • Override the security configuration used by the application by specifying the user name in the format <username>@<securityConfiguration> while performing basic authentication against the debug application. This requires <securityConfiguration> to be assigned to the specified domain.
