Sandeep More commented on KNOX-1339:
------------------------------------
The above commit adds federation support for HeaderPreAuth authentication by
adding the HeaderPreAuthFederationDispatch class.
This dispatch adds a custom header (after successfully authenticating)
configured using the property 'gateway.custom.federation.header.name' (default
SM_USER) to the outgoing requests which will be to another Knox instance having
Header Pre-Auth configured.

> corresponding cloud based instance.
