Qlik Web Connector - HSTS configuration

[tevkar1]

Hi,

We have a Qlik Web Connector running June 2023 edition. We want to enable HSTS policy so that it applies only to the machine itself:

Strict-Transport-Security:  max-age=31536000

When I enable HSTS via the <RequireHSTS> directive at deploy.config, HSTS is enabled for subdomains as well:

$ curl -s -D- https://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
....
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
....

Is it possible to override that behaviour ?

Kind regards

@tevkar1 Unfortunatelly you can't configure it further as of now. Please raise a feature request with Qlik.

It could be either for a custom header, so you can just add your own, or a second version of HSTS without the IncludeSubdomain option.

best regards
