Hello Team,

I am quite new here. Just wanted to know that where can we configure X-XSS-Protection security header in Splunk?

Starting in Splunk 6.6 (released today) you can add custom HTTP response headers by setting replyHeader.NAME=VALUE in web.conf. See the web.conf.spec file for details.

This setting isn't available if you're running in the deprecated legacy appserver mode (i.e. appServerPorts=0) Hopefully nobody is still doing that, though.

Hi Jeremiah,

Yes, correct

Do you mean that you want to add the header to Splunk Web, so that the server sends that header to client browsers?
