Problem:

How does the header value work with a static value and a supported variable?

Examples:

1. Basic static Header - This sends a static Authorization header with a bearer token.

Output:

2. Header with a Supported Variable - Here, $(restVariableOperatingEnv) could be a variable of a supported type, such as plainTextPassword, provided it is properly defined and populated in your configuration.

Output:

Important Note:

1. The variables can be defined in managed entities, managed entity groups, types, environments and operating environment: https://docs.itrsgroup.com/docs/geneos/current/processing/gateway-administration/gateway_user_variables_and_environments/index.html#define-variables

2. If you attempt to use something like:

and restValueEnv is a stdAESPassword, it will not work and may result in an unauthorized error. To pass credentials securely, consider using supported variable types.

HTTP headers accept key-value pairs, meaning they must be in plain text or encoded tokens.
