x-dtreferer header

suresh230591 — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 07:09:25 GMT

Hi,

We have situation where x-dtreferer is blocked by security due to malicious attack signature. The injection of this header is intermittently. The WAF does not only block header but complete request and that in terms impact the payment related journeys.

I was looking into DT document and find very less information about it.

Can someone give details about this header?
How and when this header is injected?
For what purpose this header is used for?
Is it mandatory to inject from monitoring point?
Do we have any control from DT side where we can enable/disable its injection?

Thanks

Suresh

Hi Thomas, we are having the same issue today. The links in your previous post look out of date. Could you provide current links to relevant info if you know of them please,

Thanks,

Jack.

Hi @jkenefick ,

The link posted by Thomas to the documentation should now work again properly.
