Subject: Unity API Important Security Upgrade – Unity API Calls and Strict Mode Implementation

 

We will be implementing an important security upgrade across our servers in the coming weeks.

As part of our ongoing commitment to data privacy and protection, we will be enforcing a strict mode policy across our systems.

 

Impact

Non-compliant Unity API Calls will be rejected leading to possible service disruptions.

 

Handling Ambiguous Requests

One key aspect of this upgrade is the way we handle ambiguous HTTP request and response headers.

 

Actions Needed

  1. Please ensure your applications implement the guidelines which are stated in more detail on this AWS documentation page to avoid service disruption and to ensure a smooth transition.
  2. Use meaningful User Agent Strings (UAS) to ensure better support.

Note: Acceptable requests listed within the linked documentation above will also be rejected once the Strict Policy is implemented

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Hi,

 

I must be missing something... The AWS documentation seems to be about accessing log files for a an application load balancer.

Could you provide more detail on this matter.

Hello @chrisrose ,

Thanks for the query. Its a great question!

Whilst the upgrade is happening at our end there is a corresponding need to ensure that Unity API calls are compliant with the new policy.

The table lists scenarios where calls will be rejected eg  The request contains both a Transfer-Encoding header and a Content-Length header.

Essentially the table you see entitled Classification Reasons is a checklist of things to avoid to ensure your API calls do not get rejected by the server when the new policy is in place.

 

Hope that helps.
