Propagating User IDs¶
Enables the back end to use the information in the X-SMP-ENDUSERNAME <username>
header to identify the user who sent a
request.
Consider a scenario in which only the technical user ID, and not the user name of the mobile device appears in the back
end. An administrator can now set the Propagate User Name
option to true in SAP Mobile Services, which
adds an X-SMP-ENDUSERNAME <username>
HTTP header to outgoing requests, and securely passes the user name to the back
end. The back-end service uses the information to apply additional filters that ensure that the information about the
user who sent the request appears, even though the technical user made the request.
