Hi, my problem is explained in the heading. I need to remove X-Frame-Options: deny from the HTTP header and change it to sameorigin. Possible it is in web.conf. Any help is advisable.

You can't set it to sameorigin. You can only remove the header all together as you have seen by changing web.conf and setting x_frame_options_sameorigin = false. This will mean you can then embed Splunk in a frame if you want.

If it is important that you set the header to be sameorigin then you would need to use something like a nginx proxy over the top of Splunk. (fairly easy to do)
