By default, the Sideband API accepts a shared secret from an API gateway plugin through the CLIENT-TOKEN header.

To customize a shared secret header, change the value of the Sideband API HTTP Servlet Extension's shared-secret-header property.
The following command changes the shared secret header to x-shared-secret.
```
PingAuthorize/bin/dsconfig set-http-servlet-extension-prop \
  --extension-name "Sideband API" \
  --set shared-secret-header-name:x-shared-secret
```
The following command resets the shared secret header to its default value.
```
PingAuthorize/bin/dsconfig set-http-servlet-extension-prop \
  --extension-name "Sideband API" \
  --reset shared-secret-header-name
```
