Hello.. I am trying to simply add a custom header to any and all users that have the Netskope Client installed.  Basically when they access our corporate website, I want Netskope to add a header “X-Employee” with a value of “true”.

I thought the solution to this was to do the following:
Go to Netskope settings
Click Manage, then “Header Insertion”
Click “New Header Insertion Profile”
Create new application with the custom header and value.

Then I went to “Security Cloud Platform”, and created a new Cloud App rule, that used the application I created above, and the domains entry has the value of my corporate domain. (i.e. example.com).

I still don’t see any headers being added to the outbound browser requests when accessing a site with that domain.  Am I missing some step?

Thanks

The headers are added at the proxy if SSL decryption is enabled. You will not see them in the browser.

I’m actually looking at the logs on the remote web server to see the headers sent, and I don’t see them there.

Are you using a custom app connector or a universal app connector?

 

I just tested with a custom app connector and it seems to work as expected:
