      > The application name should not start with "/".

   2. In the INTERNAL URL field, enter the internal server hosting URL of the PeopleSoft application. If the default port is different from 443 and 80, then append the port number in the URL (https://<internalhost>:<portnumber>). For example, https://internal-abc.example.com:8000/

      > If Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is used, Internal URL must be in lower case and should be added in the deployed container's host file (/etc/hosts).
      > The Internal URL must be same for all the sub applications of the same parent.
      > If the docker container restarts, you need to reenter the FQDN.

      In case of Custom Value, you can enter a value of your choice in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION field.

      

      • Click to delete a particular header attribute.
      • Click to add an additional header attribute.
