Introduction


Policy Entities

Encapsulated Assertion

Policy/Policy Fragment

Assertions

Context Variables


Policy Writing

Turing-complete

Supports branching, looping

Extensible but comes with numerous Assertions

Easy to learn, hard to master


Portal and the Gateway

Portal allows publishing of APIs managed by the Gateway

Policy Templates and Custom Fields are Portal features that allow additional input into these APIs– Portal users define the what– Gateway admins define how input used at API runtime


Example Policy Template/Encapsulated Assertion


Custom Fields

Portal supports API & API Key custom fields

Metadata that can be added to an API & API Key

Custom Fields can be setup as text fields or single-select dropdowns

Custom Field values are specified at API & API Key creation


Example API Custom Field/Service Properties Sub-head


Example Application Custom Field


Typical Use Cases

Authentication

Authorization

Routing

Rate limiting

API Protection

Metadata extension for APIs and Applications


Let’s Do an Exercise

Problem: Need to variably set quotas on specific HTTP Methods for an API

Problem part 2: Partners do not get access to certain HTTP methods for an API


Demo


What Did We Do?

Created an Policy Template/Encapsulated Assertion

Exposed it to the Portal

Created an API that used it and an Application to consume it

Added a API Custom Field for additional control

Added an Application Custom Field for differentiated control
