X-Experience can be "premium" or "light".
X-LogonType can be "public" or "private".

when ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED {
if { [ACCESS::session data get "session.somecustomvariableyoucansetintheaccesspolicy"] contains "somevalueyousetforlightmode" } {
HTTP::header replace "X-Experience" "light"
}
else {
HTTP::header replace "X-Experience" "premium"
}
}
