Where should I set 'Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"' Header in my apache2 server?

I want to access other servers from my server. When I try to sent a GET/POST request to www.posttestserver.com, it is established successfully.
In response, that server provides me response header as:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*

Connection:Keep-Alive

Content-Encoding:gzip

Content-Length:129

Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8

Date:Tue, 13 Jun 2017 07:24:27 GMT

Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=100

Server:Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)

Vary:Accept-Encoding

Then, how do I set this same type of header:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*

over my server, so that other websites accessing my server receive this in their response headers?

My server is apache2 hosted on ubuntu 16.04.

Note: I have set this header:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in section,
and in .htaccess file in /var/www/html.

Since you're on ubuntu, it would be preferable to create a short config file in /etc/apache2/conf-available/ and then use a2enconf to enable it.

This allows you to keep the shipped configuration files unmodified.
