    Thanks for the extra detail.

    I'd suppose that if your user session is authenticated with APM (the user is sending APM's MRHSession cookie so is associated with an APM session) and the app ID is recorded inside the session, and the user is accessing the backend through APM, all you'd have to do is grab this info and add a header during ACCES_ACL_ALLOWED. This event is fired during each network request from users, and can be used more or less like HTTP_REQUEST.

     

    when ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED {
    set appid [ACCESS::session data get "session.oauth.authz.client_id"]
    HTTP::header replace "X-PARTNER-ID" $appid
    log "Inserted appid: $appid"
    }
