Referrer-Policy header

The Referrer-Policy header in the HTTP response is used to control how much information about the origin's URI is passed with requests. It prevents from situations that could result in sensitive information being leaked to the third party. Even if security is not compromised, the information may not be something the user wants to be shared.

By default this is enabled and set to same-origin.

To override the policy header value set:

blueriq.security.referrer-policy.policy=<HEADER VALUE>

Possible policy header values:

  • no-referrer 
  • no-referrer-when-downgrade
  • same-origin (default value)
  • origin
  • strict-origin
  • origin-when-cross-origin
  • strict-origin-when-cross-origin
  • unsafe-url

To disable use:

blueriq.security.referrer-policy.enabled=false

Frontend Deployment

Security headers generated by the Runtime are only applied to pages that are served from the Runtime itself. In case the Blueriq Frontend is served from a CDN or via Reverse Proxy these headers will need to be configured from the CDN or Reverse Proxy, for the headers to be applied.
