Headeres for the HTTP Data Connections

[Alex Perez]

Hello,

I'm building a SAML AA entity that instead of storing attributes, uses a REST API to retrieve them from an external server. I'm using the HTTPConnector with partial success. The external server allows for header-based authorization. When disabled (ie. no authorization), it works fine: the request is sent and the response is obtained, parsed and the attributes generated correctly.

The problem is that if authorization is enabled, I need HTTPConnector to include the authorization header. It seems it must be done using headerMapRef but the documentation says it must be a Bean ID, and I'm not sure where this bean must be declared and I've found 0 examples around (there are literarily 2 Google results for "headerMapRef".

Best regards,
