Hide Server Banner and Product Info from HTTP Header

Hide Server Banner and Product Info from HTTP Header

A server banner may display information about the underlying hosting environment. Usually in Applications Manager, the information that can be exposed is the product name:

  1. Server: AppManager
For security purposes, it may be desirable to disable the Server response header.

Steps to remove header

  1. Take a backup and open <apm-home>/working/apache/tomcat/conf/backup/server.xml
  2. Search and remove below key-value(s).
    1. server="AppManager"
  3. Restart APM and verify the response headers.

Steps to verify

  1. If this has been reported as a violation in your network scan tool, please re scan and confirm.
  2. Manual steps: 
    1. Using cURL : curl -v <Applications Manager URL>
      eg., curl -v http://apm-me-server:9090
