AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.authenticate.header.key` specifies the HTTP header name that the system should look for to identify an externally authorized user. This is particularly useful for integrating with external authentication systems like SiteMinder. When an external system authenticates a user, it can pass the user's identity to ServiceNow through a custom HTTP header. By setting the `glide.authenticate.header.key` property to the name of this header, ServiceNow can recognize and trust the authenticated user information provided. This property enhances security by allowing seamless integration with external authentication mechanisms. For more details, refer to the ServiceNow documentation on implementing external authentication headers.
