Patent attributes
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include establishing a header policy that is to be applied at a metadata proxy. The header policy may indicate that specified header information is to be included in each metadata service request sent to a metadata service. The method may also include accessing the established header policy at the metadata proxy, where the metadata proxy is configured to intercept metadata service requests and check the intercepted requests for the specified header information. The method may further include determining, at the metadata proxy, that the metadata service request does not include the specified header information and, in response to the determination, preventing the metadata service request from being passed to the metadata service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
