Azure - Increasing Request Header Size

harshit aggarwal requested to merge haaggarw/IncreasingHeaderSize into master

What is the changes?

We are increasing the size of request header supported by the tomcat server.

Why is this change required?

From search when we call entitlements after policy integration, there is an extra header X-DATA-GROUP which is passed. This header contains very long string of comma seperated groups. The application currently doesn't support the header of this size. Hence we have increased the size of supported headers to 100 KB. Also as per HTTP there is no limit to header size but server puts this limit.

Is this change a breaking change No, this is not a breaking change.

How was the change test The change was verified using integration tests of entitlements azure and calling entitlements from search service to validate the fix.

How will we revert if there is failure? We will revert this change in case any issue arises.
