![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Customers require the ability to supress the 'server:' HTTP Response Header that is generated by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS v4.01. This APAR will provide this ability.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Customers want to be able to suppress * * the 'server:' HTTP Response Header that * * is generated by WebSphere Application * * Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Many Web servers allow for the suppression of the 'server:'HTTP Response Header in responses. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS should provide similar support.Problem conclusion A new environment variable, SERVER_TOKEN_OFF, has been added to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS v4.0.1 that enables the 'server:' HTTP Response Header to be suppressed. Use the WebSphere for z/OS Administration application to add this environment variable to the current.env file. You can then set this variable to "true", to suppress the server header from the HTTP response. If this variable is set to "false", the server header will be included in the HTTP response. If this environment variable is not added to the current.env file, the server header will continue to be included in the HTTP response. If you want the server header to continue to be included in the HTTP response, no action is required after application of the PTF containing this APAR. APAR PQ83094 requires a change to documentation: The following information will be added to "Appendix A. Environment and JVM properties files" in WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390: Installation and Customization, GA22-7834-07, and WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390: Assembling J2EE Applications, SA22-7836-06. SERVER_TOKEN_OFF= true|false Determines whether the 'server'.HTTPResponse Header is to be suppressed. If this variable is set to "true" the server header from the HTTP response will be suppressed. If this variable is set to "false", the server header will be included in the HTTP response. If this environment variable is not added to the current.env file, the server header will continue to be included in the HTTP response. Example: SERVER_TOKEN_OFF=true NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our Web site, so these changes might have been made before you read this text. To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS library page at URL: www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library/ APAR PQ83094 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401610 of WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
