It enables system admins to make business-critical, real-time security decisions.

Permissions can be granted to or revoked from a user, user group, or user role automatically or by a system administrator. For example, if a user has the permission to log in to a system, the permission to log out is automatically granted as well. +- **User roles:** A **user role** is a grouping of permissions. In addition to assigning individual permissions to users, admins can create user roles and assign those roles to users.

User store managerDescription
org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.UniqueIDReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager

This is used to carry out read-only operations for LDAP user stores.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.UniqueIDReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager

This is used for LDAP user stores to carry out both read and write operations.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.UniqueIDActiveDirectoryUserStoreManager

This is used to configure an Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS). This can be used only for read/write operations. If you need to use AD as read-only, you must use org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.UniqueIDReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.UniqueIDJDBCUserStoreManager

This is used for JDBC user stores. The JDBC user store can be configured for read-only mode or read/write mode using the following property: <Property name="ReadOnly">false/true</Property>.

ConnectionURL

Connection URL to the user store server. In the case of default LDAP in Carbon, the port is specified in the carbon.xml file, and a reference to that port is included in this configuration.

ConnectionName

The username used to connect to the database and perform various operations. This user does not have to be an administrator in the user store or have an administrator role in the WSO2 product that you are using, but this user MUST have permissions to read the user list and users' attributes and to perform search operations on the user store. The value you specify is used as the DN ( Distinguish Name ) attribute of the user. This property is mandatory.

ConnectionPassword Password for the ConnectionName user.
DisplayNameAttribute This is an optional property. The Display Name Attribute is the name by which users will be listed when you search for users in the management console (Go to Configuration -> Users tab).
PasswordHashMethod Password hash method to use when storing user entries in the user store.
UserNameListFilter

Filtering criteria for listing all the user entries in the user store. This query or filter is used when doing search operations on users. In this case, the search operation only provides the objects created from the specified class. This query is the same as listing out all the available users in the management console.

UserEntryObjectClass Object class used to construct user entries. By default, it is a custom object class defined with the name wso2Person .
UserSearchBase
+

DN of the context or object under which the user entries are stored in the user store. In this case, it is the "users" container. When the user store searches for users, it will start from this location of the directory.

+
+

Info

+

Different databases have different search bases.

+
+ +
UserNameSearchFilter Filtering criteria used to search for a particular user entry.
UserNameAttribute
+

The attribute used for uniquely identifying a user entry. Users can be authenticated using their email address, UID, etc.

+
+

Info

+

The name of the attribute is considered as the username.

+
+ +

+
+
+
<Property name="RolenameJavaRegEx">[a-zA-Z0-9._\-|/]{3,30}$</Property>
+
+
+

CaseInsensitiveUsername

+

(JDBC) This property can be set to 'false' for case insensitive JDBC user stores for performance improvements.

+
+
+
<Property name="CaseInsensitiveUsername">false</Property>
+
+
+
ReadGroups Specifies whether groups should be read from the user store. If this is disabled by setting it to false , none of the groups in the user store can be read, and the following group configurations are NOT mandatory: GroupSearchBase , GroupNameListFilter , or GroupNameAttribute .
Referral Guides the request to a domain controller in the correct domain
WriteGroups Specifies whether groups should be written to user store.
EmptyRolesAllowed Specifies whether the underlying user store allows empty groups to be created. In the case of LDAP in Carbon, the schema is modified such that empty groups are allowed to be created. Usually LDAP servers do not allow you to create empty groups.
GroupSearchBase DN of the context under which user entries are stored in the user store.
GroupSearchFilter The query used to search for groups.
GroupNameListFilter Filtering criteria for listing all the group entries in the user store. Groups are created in LDAP using the " groupOfName " class. The group search operation only returns objects created from this class.

Available methodsDefault behaviorReasons for overriding

boolean doAuthenticate(String userName, Object credential)

This method returns details on whether the given username and password is matched or not. Credential is usually a String literal.

If you want to change the authentication logic you can override this method and write your own implementation. The default task of this method is to compare the given password with the stored password. The given credentials are passed to the preparePassword method to do the salting or encryption before the comparison takes place.

String preparePassword(Object password, String saltValue)

This returns the encrypted or plain-text password based on the configurations.

You can override this method if you need to change the way you encrypt the password. If you want to change the algorithm that is used for encryption, you can configure it.

Properties getDefaultUserStoreProperties()

+

The default properties of the user store are returned using this method. These properties are used in user store related operations.

+
+

Note

+

Be sure to manually add the following property when you implement the class:

+
+
+ +
+
+

This property is what controls whether the user store is enabled or disabled.

+

By overriding this method, you can programmatically change the configuration of the user store manager implementation.

boolean checkUserNameValid(String userName)

Returns whether the given username is compatible with the defined criteria.

The criteria used for defining a valid username can be configured as a regex in user store configurations. If you want to change the way user name validation is done, override this method.

boolean checkUserPasswordValid(Object credential)

Returns whether the given password is compatible with the defined criteria. This is invoked when creating a user, updating a password and authorization.

Similar to the user name, you can configure the format of a valid password in configuration. If you want to change that behavior you can override this method.

User store manager classWhen you would use it
org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager

If your user details are stored in a database, you must use this user store manager implementation. With the abstraction provided in this implementation, most of the JDBC based scenarios can be handled without writing a custom user store manager.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager

You can use this class if you have an LDAP user store. This implementation does not allow you to insert or update users from the WSO2 product side. Instead you can only read and use them in the product.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager

If you want to allow the WSO2 product to manipulate user store data, you need to use this implementation.

org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ActiveDirectoryLDAPUserStoreManager

Active Directory also can be used as the user store of a WSO2 product and you can configure it using this user store manager implementation.

+ +## Implementing a custom JDBC user store manager + +The instructions in this section are focused on implementing a sample +JDBC user store manager. For this sample, the following tools are used +to implement the custom user store manager. + +- Java 1.6.0 +- IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, etc.) +- Apache Maven + +### Setting up the implementation + +To set up this implementation, do the following. + +1. Create a new Apache Maven project with the help of the IDE that you are using. The project should be a simple Apache Maven project and you can use any desired artifact and group ID. +2. Add the WSO2 user store management .jar file as a dependency of our project. Since this .jar file is stored in WSO2's Maven repository, you must add the WSO2 repository to your POM file. Please see the below sample POM file. + + !!! note + + Note that the version number of the carbon dependencies + seen below have to be updated according to the carbon kernel version + that the particular product version is compatible with. For example, + WSO2 API Manager is built on top of carbon kernel version **4.6.1** + therefore, the version given in the sample POM file below is + **4.6.1**. Change this value accordingly based on the relevant + carbon kernel version of the product you are using by referring to + this [release + matrix](https://wso2.com/products/carbon/release-matrix/). + + + ``` xml + + + 4.0.0 + org.wso2.sample + CustomReadOnlyJDBCUserStoreManager + 1.0.0 + bundle + + + wso2-nexus + WSO2 internal Repository + http://maven.wso2.org/nexus/content/groups/wso2-public/ + + true + daily + ignore + + + + + + org.wso2.carbon + org.wso2.carbon.user.core + 4.5.1 + + + org.wso2.carbon + org.wso2.carbon.utils + 4.5.1 + + + org.wso2.carbon + org.wso2.carbon.user.api + 4.5.1 + + + + + + + maven-compiler-plugin + 2.3.1 + true + + UTF-8 + 1.7 + 1.7 + + + + org.apache.felix + maven-scr-plugin + 1.7.2 + + + generate-scr-scrdescriptor + + scr + + + + + + org.apache.felix + maven-bundle-plugin + 2.3.5 + true + + + ${project.artifactId} + ${project.artifactId} + + org.wso2.sample.user.store.manager.internal + + + !org.wso2.sample.user.store.manager.internal, + org.wso2.sample.user.store.manager.*, + + + org.wso2.carbon.*, + org.apache.commons.logging.*, + org.osgi.framework.*, + org.osgi.service.component.* + + + + + + + + ``` + + Now your basic implementation is ready. + +### Writing a custom user store manager for a sample scenario + +As a sample of how this can be done, consider a scenario where you want +to use a custom hashing method using a 3rd party library such as +[Jasypt](http://www.jasypt.org/). So, in order to do this, you must +override the ` doAuthentication ` and +` preparePassword ` methods as an example. + +Do the following steps to write the custom user store manager. + +1. Include the required dependencies in your development environment. To do that, include the relevant Apache Maven dependency details or manually add the .jar files to your classpath.

Add the following system property. + + ``` java + $JAVA_OPTS \ + -Dtenant.idle.time=. \ + ``` + + 3. Restart the server. + +#### Improved artifacts synchronization for Lazy loading + +Starting with API Manager version 3.2.0, an in-memory artifacts synchronization mechanism has been introduced, replacing the file-based artifacts management used in earlier versions. This new approach leverages a database to manage artifacts more efficiently. + +Following are the key changes introduced by the above mechanism : + +1. **Artifact Storage** + + Artifacts are now stored in memory and synchronized via a database, moving away from the file-based system.
+ +2. **Dynamic Tenant Unloading** + + When a tenant is unloaded, its API artifacts are also removed from memory. As a result, if a request is received during the tenant's unloading process, the initial request may fail until the tenant is fully loaded. Once loaded, the gateway can serve the APIs for that tenant seamlessly. +

Recommended solution for this is to address this limitation and ensure smooth API requests during tenant unloading or loading, you should enable on-demand loading. Add the following configuration to your deployment.toml file: + + [apim.sync_runtime_artifacts.gateway] + gateway_labels = ["Default"] + enable_on_demand_loading = true + + For example, in a multi-tenancy scenario with lazy loading enabled, a user attempting to invoke a tenant's API for the first time after a server restart might encounter a 404 `Not Found` error. This occurs because the corresponding tenant data has not yet been loaded. + + When the mentioned configuration is enabled, the system synchronously verifies whether the API is deployed (i.e., the data is loaded). If the data is not loaded, it ensures the loading process is completed. As a result, subsequent requests will not return a 404 error due to resource unavailability. + + By enabling on-demand loading, the system dynamically loads tenant-specific artifacts only when required, reducing the likelihood of request failures. + + +### Configuring Eager Loading + +Follow the instructions given below to change the tenant loading policy to eager loading. + +!!! note + **Before you enable eager loading** , note the following: + + - The server startup time may increase depending on the number of tenants and artifacts you have. + + - The server's memory footprint will increase depending on the number of tenants and artifacts that are loaded. + + +1.

This method minimizes the overhead cost. + +### Tenant loading policy + +Lazy loading is a design pattern used specifically in cloud deployments to prolong the initialization of an object or artifact until it is requested by a tenant or an internal process. In WSO2 products based on Carbon 4.4.0 or later versions, you have the option of setting the required tenant loading policy by enabling either **Lazy Loading** or **Eager Loading** of tenants. Additionally, you can separately control the loading policy for web applications and axis2 services deployed in your tenants using the **GhostDeployment** setting. + +See [Configuring the Tenant Loading Policy](https://docs.wso2.com/display/ADMIN44x/Configuring+the+Tenant+Loading+Policy) for more information. + +### Restrictions + +The following restrictions are imposed to ensure that each individual tenant has the required level of isolation and maintains fine-grained security control over its own services without affecting the other tenants. + +- Only the super tenant can modify its own configuration. In addition, it can add, view and delete tenants. +- When a tenant logs into the system, it can only access artifacts deployed under its own configuration. One tenant cannot manipulate the code of another tenant. +- The super admin or tenant admin can add user stores to their own domain. Dynamic configurations are possible only for secondary user stores and the primary user store is not configurable at run time. This is because primary user stores are available for all tenants and allowing changes to the configuration at run time can lead to instability of the system. Therefore, the primary user store is treated as a static property in the implementation and it should be configured prior to run time. +- A tenants code cannot invoke sensitive server side functionality. This is achieved via Java security. +- Tenants share the transports provided by the system. They are not allowed to create their own transports. + +### Request dispatching + +This section describes how the multi tenancy architecture described above works in a request dispatching scenario. + +When a Carbon server receives a request, the message is first received by the handlers and dispatchers defined for the server configuration (i.e. super tenant). The server configuration may include handlers that implement cross tenant policies and Service Level Agreement (SLA) management. For example, a priority based dispatcher can be applied at this stage to offer differentiated qualities of service to different clients. Once the relevant handlers and dispatchers are applied, the request is sent to the tenant to which it is addressed. Then the message dispatchers and handlers specific to that tenant will be applied. + +The following example further illustrates how message dispatching is carried out in a multi tenant server. + +For example, two tenants named foo.com and bar.com may deploy a service named MyService. When this service is hosted on the two tenants, they would have the following URLs. + +`http://example.com/t/foo.com/services/MyService` +`http://example.com/t/bar.com/services/MyService` + +The name of the tenant in the URL allows the tenant to be identified when the Carbon server receives a message which is addressed to a specific client. Alternatively, you may configure a CNAME record in DNS (Domain Name System) as an alias for this information. + +If a request is addressed to the `MyService` service hosted by `foo.com` , the message handlers and dispatchers of the super tenant will be applied and the tenant `foo.com` will be identified by the tenant name in the URL. Then the request will be sent to `foo.com` where it will be processed. + +### Scaling + +The multi tenancy architecture described above mainly refers to a scenario where a single instance of a Carbon server acts as a single multi tenant node. In a situation where a very high load of requests are handled, you may need multiple multi tenant nodes. In order to operate with multiple multi tenant nodes, you need load balancing. The load balancer you use also needs to be tenant-aware. diff --git a/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/administer/multitenancy/managing-tenants.md b/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/administer/multitenancy/managing-tenants.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..cf84a8d70 --- /dev/null +++ b/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/administer/multitenancy/managing-tenants.md @@ -0,0 +1,88 @@ +# Managing Tenants + + +##Adding a new tenant +You can add a new tenant in the management console and then view it by following the procedure below.

Rate limiting based on request count or bandwidth

+

+ Request Count and Request Bandwidth are the two options for default limit. You can use the option according to your requirement. Request Count is commonly used as the limiting option for API requests. If you are using APIs for File sharing and Data transmission you can use Request Bandwidth as your default limiting option. +

+

Note

+ +

Enabling header, query param or JWT based rate limiting

+

    +
  • IP based throttling is enabled by default. +
    • +
  • + Note that if you want to add a header, query param, or JSON Web Token (JWT) claim condition, you need to set the `enable_header_based_throttling` , `enable_jwt_claim_based_throttling` or `enable_query_param_based_throttling` element to `true` (depending on which condition you need) under `[apim.throttling]` in the `repository/conf/deployment.toml` file.
    • + ```toml + [apim.throttling] + enable_header_based_throttling = true + enable_jwt_claim_based_throttling = true + enable_query_param_based_throttling = true + ``` +
  • This JWT is the backend JWT and not the one you use to invoke it. In addition, you need to enable the Backend JWT token to get this rate limiting flow to work. +
+

+
+ + You can add a description about the condition group by clicking **Description** under **Condition Group**. + + [![Add advanced policy page]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-conditional-groups.png)]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-conditional-groups.png) + + | Condition | Description value | + |---------------|-------------------| + | IP Condition | Allows you to set a rate limiting limit for a specific IP address or a range of IP addresses. | + | Header Condition | Allows you to set a rate limiting limit to specific headers and parameters. | + | Query Param Condition |Allows you to set a rate limiting limit to specific query parameters. | + | JWT Claim Condition | Allows you to set a rate limiting limit to specific claims. + +
+

Note

+ +

Conditional group evaluation

+ +

The conditional group execution policy is used only for that condition. For example, if you add an IP condition and set the request count as shown in the above diagram, only 5 requests will be allowed per minute using that IP condition. The default limit will be applied for any request that evaluates to false with that condition (Outside that condition).

+
+ +6. Enter a condition and value. + + !!! note + The IP-based advanced rate limiting expects the client IP in the **X-Forwarded-For** header, in order to detect the IP address and throttle out the request as specified in the IP condition configuration. + +7. Header condition and JWT claim condition values allow regex patterns to be defined. + You can configure it to make either an exact match or a pattern match for the value using the regex values. For example: + + [![Add advanced policy page]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-header-condition-regex.png){:style="width:45%"}]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-header-condition-regex.png) + + [![Add advanced policy page]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-jwt-condition-regex.png){:style="width:45%"}]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/anew-jwt-condition-regex.png) + +
+

Note

+ +

JWT condition

+ + Claim name : Name of the JWT Claim + Example: + +
    +
  • "iss" - The issuer of the JWT
    • +
  • " " - Context of the API
    • +
  • " " - API version
    • +
+ + + Claim value : Value to be checked in the corresponding claim. (allows regex patterns as well) + + Invert condition : Whether to take the throttle decision based on the equality of the values. + Example: If the claim name is "iss" value is "wso2" and "invert condition" is off - Requests having "wso2" as "iss" claim will be throttled. + If the claim name is "iss" value is "wso2" and "invert condition" is on - Requests not having "wso2" as "iss" claim will be throttled. +
+ + !!! note + This JWT claim is the backend JWT and not the one you use to invoke it. Also, you need to enable the Backend JWT token to get this rate limiting flow to work. + +8.

Adding multiple conditional groups

+ +

You can configure multiple conditional groups when defining a tier for advanced rate limiting policies. For example, it is possible to apply both an IP based rate limiting and a query parameter condition in a single advanced policy.

+
+ + +## Manage API Access Control by Defining Allowed IPs + +When requests to an API should be permitted from only a set of known/trusted IPs, you can achieve this by configuring a group of Allowed IPs through the Advanced Rate Limiting feature. + +### Creating the Advanced Rate Limit Policy for Allowed IPs + +1.

Open the Conditional Group added and fill the details. + + | Property | Value | + |---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| + | IP Condition Type | Specific IP | + | IP Address | E.g. 193.100.3.106 | + | Invert Condition | Checked (If the 'Invert Condition' is checked, then the condition applies only to the IPs not mentioned in the 'IP Address'.) | + | Request Count | 0 | + + Following is an example configuration. + + [![New allow specific IP]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-allow-specific-ip.png)]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-allow-specific-ip.png) + + [![Save allow specific IP]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/save-allow-specific-ip.png)]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/save-allow-specific-ip.png) + +
+

Note

+

In the above configuration we are allowing a Specific IP address to access an API. + You can allow a range of IPs as well by selecting **IP Range** for the IP Condition Type in the Conditional Group and specifying the range as follows.

+
+ + [![New allowed IP range]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-allowed-ip-range.png)]({{base_path}}/assets/img/learn/new-allowed-ip-range.png) + +6. Click **Save**. + +You have now successfully created the policy. + +
+

Note

+

+ The policy will be re-enforced for every unit time. Each time the policy is enforced a minimum of 1 request will be allowed to pass before blocking requests. Having a smaller unit time will increase the frequency of requests passing through. Hence, having a larger unit time is suitable to minimize the number of requests passing through. +

+

+ When you are adding a new Subscription level rate limiting tier, you will see the existing list of subscription tiers in the **Subscription Tier List**. In this list, you will find a tier named **Unauthenticated**, which has a request quota of 500.

Billing plan

+
    +
  • Free - If all subscription tiers are defined as Free, the API uses the **Free billing plan** and the API is labeled as Free in the Developer Portal.
    • +
  • Paid - If all subscription tiers are defined as Paid, the API uses the **Commercial billing plan** and the API is labeled as Paid in the Developer Portal.
    • +
  • Freemium - If the API has a combination of Free and Paid subscription tiers, the API uses the **Freemium billing plan** and the API is labeled as Freemium in the Developer Portal.
+

This labeling happens on the Developer Portal only if monetization has been enabled. For information on how to enable monetization and how to tag subscription tiers, see [Configuring API Monetization Category Labels]({{base_path}}/monitoring/api-monetization/configuring-api-monetization-category-labels/).

MethodDescription
getResponseMetadata

+ This method is responsible for extracting metadata from the response, which may be present in the response payload, headers, or query parameters. It takes the response payload and headers as input, along with a list of metadata keys that need to be extracted. The method processes the input data and returns a map containing the extracted metadata. If the extraction fails for any reason, it throws an APIManagementException, ensuring the error is captured and handled appropriately. +

getRequestMetadata

+ This method is used to extract metadata from the request, similar to how getResponseMetadata works for responses. It takes the request payload, headers, and query parameters, along with a list of metadata keys that need to be extracted. The method processes these inputs and returns a map containing the extracted metadata. In case of failure during extraction, it throws an APIManagementException, ensuring the issue is properly managed. +

getType

This method retrieves the connector type for the custom Large Language Model (LLM) provider. It returns a string that corresponds to the connector type configured in the admin portal under the "Connector Type for AI Service Provider" section. The string returned by this method ensures that the correct custom LLM provider is used during interactions between the system and the AI service provider.

registerLLMProvider

This method handles the registration of a new custom LLM provider. It programmatically onboard's the provider during the startup process. If the LLM provider is being onboarded manually through the admin portal, the method can return null. The method accepts the organization's name and the path to the API definition file associated with the provider, and it returns an instance of LLMProvider representing the newly registered provider. If any errors occur during the registration process, the method throws an APIManagementException. +

+ +3. Build the project. + + Once you've implemented the necessary methods, navigate to the `` directory and execute the following command. + + `mvn clean install` + + This will create a custom AI service provider connector JAR. + +## Step 2 - Deploy the bundle in the WSO2 API-M Server + +1.

Tip

+

The built-in AI service providers and versions will appear on relevant dropdowns. In addition to the default Service Providers, you can add custom AI Service Providers by following the custom AI Service Provider integration documentation.

+
+ +4. Fill in the AI API details and click **Create**. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
FieldSample value
NameOpenAIAPI
Context +
+

openaiapi

+
+
+

+ The API context is used by the Gateway to identify the API. + Therefore, the API context must be unique. This context is the + API's root context when invoking the API through the Gateway. +

+
+
+ +
+

+ You can define the API's version as a parameter of its context + by adding the {version} into the context. + For example, {version}/openaiapi. + The API Manager assigns the actual version of the API to the + {version} parameter internally. + For example, https://localhost:8243/2.3.0/openaiapi. + Note that the version appears before the context, allowing you + to group your APIs based on the versions. +

max MessageSize

Specifies the maximum size of a message to be cached in bytes. An optional attribute, with the default value set to unlimited .
maxSize Defines the maximum number of elements to be cached.

hashGenerator

Defines the hash generator class.

+

When caching response messages, a hash value is generated based on the request's URI, transport headers and the payload (if available). WSO2 has a default HttpRequestHashGenerator class written to generate the hash value. See sample here . Please note that prior to API-M 4.0.0, a different hash generator implementation REQUESTHASHGenerator was used by default and from API-M 4.0.0, this new hash generator implementation is being used.

+

If you want to change this default implementation (for example, to exclude certain headers), you can write a new hash generator implementation by extending the HttpRequestHashGenerator and overriding its getDigest() method. Once done, add the new class as the hashGenerator attribute of the <cache> element in the velocity_template.xml file and api_product_template.xml file.

ElementDescription

<ExternalAPIStore id="" type="" className="">

+

id : The external Developer Portal identifier, which is a unique value.
+ type : The type of the Developer Portal. This can be a WSO2-specific API Developer Portal or an external one, which has a different implementation from the default API Developer Portal.
+ className : The implementation class inside the WSO2 API Manager distribution.

+ +
+

Info

+

The default className specified is org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.impl.publishers.WSO2APIPublisher, which is used when WSO2 specific API Developer Portal is used. However, if you are using an external API Developer Portal, you need to customize the class by extending the org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.api.model.APIPublisher interface and you should use the fully qualified class name of the new implementation as the className parameter.

Subscription blocking can be temporary or permanent. There is an unblocking facility to allow API invocations again. + +You can block APIs by subscription by blocking access to a respective user to access a specific API that they had subscribed to using a particular application. If a user has subscribed to two APIs, using the same application, and you block access to only one of the APIs, the respective user can continue to invoke the other API that they had previously subscribed to using the same application.

If you want to block all API requests from a specific application/user/specific IP address or to a specific API, you can use [request denylisting]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/rate-limiting/access-control/#denying-requests). + + +Blocking can be done at two levels: + +- **Block production and sandbox access**: API access is blocked with both production and sandbox keys. +- **Block production access only**: Allows sandbox access only.

+

Warning

+

When API Gateway caching is enabled (it is enabled by default), even after blocking a subscription, consumers might still be able to access APIs until the cache expires, which happens approximately every 15 minutes. Likewise, the API Gateway cache applies even when an API is unblocked.

+
+ +
+

Note

+

See the following topics for the descriptions on the concepts that you need to know when you block subscriptions to an API: +

+

Tip

+

You can choose **Block Production Only** instead of **Block All**. In addition, you can unblock the subscriptions that you have previously blocked by clicking **Unblock**.

+
+ + +5. Invoke the APIs to test the blocked API. + + 1. Sign in to the Developer Portal. + + 2. Invoke the two APIs (`PizzaShackAPI` and `PhoneVerification`) again. + + +
+

tip

+

If the access token expiration time (1 hour by default) has passed since the last time you generated it, you might have to regenerate the access token for the respective application that you subscribed the APIs to (for example in this case it will be `NewApplication)`.

+
+ + + Note that you can invoke `PizzaShackAPI` again, but when you invoke `PhoneVerification`, it gives a message that the requested API is temporarily blocked. Neither the API publisher nor any subscriber can invoke the API until the block is removed. + + +
+

Warning

+

When [Gateway caching]({{base_path}}/getting-started/overview/#api-gateway) is enabled, which is the case by default, the subscription blocking will take place only after the token cache expires (the default token cache expiry time is 15min).

FieldSample value
NameOpenAIAPI
Context +
+

openaiapi

+
+
+

+ The API context is used by the Gateway to identify the API. + Therefore, the API context must be unique. This context is the + API's root context when invoking the API through the Gateway. +

+
+
+ +
+

+ You can define the API's version as a parameter of its context + by adding the {version} into the context. + For example, {version}/openaiapi. + The API Manager assigns the actual version of the API to the + {version} parameter internally. + For example, https://localhost:8243/2.3.0/openaiapi. + Note that the version appears before the context, allowing you + to group your APIs based on the versions. +

FieldSample value
NamePizzaShack
Version1.0.0
Context

/pizzashack

The API context is used by the Gateway to identify the API. Therefore, the API context must be unique. This context is the API's root context when invoking the API through the Gateway.

You can define the API's version as a parameter of its context by adding the {version} into the context. For example, {version}/pizzashack. The API Manager assigns the actual version of the API to the {version} parameter internally. For example, https://localhost:8243/1.0.0/pizzashack. Note that the version appears before the context, allowing you to group your APIs based on the versions.

Endpoint

https://localhost:9443/am/sample/pizzashack/v1/api/

The endpoint that you add is automatically added as the production and sandbox endpoints.

+ +
+

Note

+

The Create & Publish option will only appear when a user who has publisher permission adds the details for the Endpoint which is an optional field.

SSE is an HTTP-based protocol that allows one-way communication similar to WebHooks, from the server to the client. The SSE server transfers events over an already established connection without creating new connections. Therefore, the SSE protocol has a lower delivery latency when compared to typical HTTP.

In addition, it gets multiplexing over HTTP/2 out-of-the-box. If the connection drops, the EventSource fires an error event and automatically tries to reconnect. The server can also control the timeout before the client tries to reconnect. Clients can send a unique ID with messages. When a client tries to reconnect after a dropped connection, it will send the last known ID. Then the server can see that the client missed "n" number of messages and send the backlog of missed messages on reconnection. + +## Example usage + +For example, stock market applications use SSE APIs to send messages in a uni-directional manner from the server to the client. Therefore, if users need the latest stock market prices, they will subscribe to the respective channel that publishers stock market stats. Thereafter, the server will keep sending the user the latest stock market prices as and when it gets updated in order to provide an immediate user experience. + +## Basic flow + +Follow the instructions below to create the API using the basic flow. + +### Step 1 - Design a SSE API + +1. {!includes/sign-in-publisher.md!} + +2.

Refer to [Expose a SOAP Service as a REST API]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-rest-api/expose-a-soap-service-as-a-rest-api) or [Generate REST API from SOAP Backend]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-rest-api/generate-rest-api-from-soap-backend) for more information. + +**Create an API based on a Service** + +You can create services and publish them to WSO2 API Manager. For example, you can create an integration service using WSO2 Integration Studio or a streaming integration service using the Streaming Integration Tooling. Refer to the [documentation on Creating an API Using a Service]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-an-api-using-a-service). + +**Create a GraphQL API** + +GraphQL, developed by Facebook, is a data query language for APIs. When using GraphQL, users can explicitly specify what data they need from an API. GraphQL APIs are an alternative to REST-based APIs. Refer to the [documentation on how to create a GraphQL API]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-a-graphql-api) for more information. + +**Create a Streaming API** + +A Streaming API is a logical collection of related topics through which clients can publish and receive events in a well-defined format. There are four options available for creating APIs of this nature. + +- [Create a WebSocket API]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-streaming-api/create-a-websocket-streaming-api) - A WebSocket API is a streaming API in WSO2 API Manager that is implemented based on the WebSocket protocol specification, which is compatible with HTTP. You can create a WebSocket API from scratch in WSO2 API-M and export the WebSocket APIs that are created within WSO2 API-M as AsyncAPI definitions. +- [Create a WebSub/WebHook API]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-streaming-api/create-a-websub-streaming-api) - A WebSub API, also known as a WebHook API, is a streaming API in WSO2 API Manager that is implemented based on the WebSub protocol specification. You can create a WebSub API from scratch in WSO2 API-M and export the WebSub APIs that are created within WSO2 API-M as AsyncAPI definitions. +- [Create a Server Sent Events (SSE) API]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-streaming-api/create-a-sse-streaming-api) - A Server-Sent Events (SSE) API is a streaming API in WSO2 API Manager (WSO2 API-M) that is implemented based on the SSE specification. You can create an SSE API from scratch in WSO2 API-M and export the SSE APIs that are created within WSO2 API-M as AsyncAPI definitions. +- [Create a Streaming API from an AsyncAPI Definition]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-streaming-api/create-a-streaming-api-from-an-asyncapi-definition) - AsyncAPI specification is a format that describes streaming APIs. An API Creator can import an existing AsyncAPI definition to WSO2 API Manager to create a streaming API using any one of the above protocols. + +## Secure APIs + +Many enterprises need to implement API management solutions that provide mechanisms such as authentication, authorization, and rate limiting. These are must-have capabilities for controlling who accesses APIs across an API ecosystem — and how often. + +**Rate Limiting** + +Rate Limiting allows you to limit the number of successful hits to an API during a given period. Refer to [documentation on Rate Limiting]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/rate-limiting/set-api-level-throttling/) for more information. + +**Authentication** + +API authentication is a way of protecting API access from unidentified or anonymous access. It ensures that the API is secured and accessible only by the consumers who prove their identity and whose identities are found within the API Management Platform. Please refer to [an overview of Authentication]({{base_path}}/api-security/runtime/api-authentication/api-authentication-overview) for more information. + +**Authorization** + +Due to the expanding consumer base, the application developers have to focus on limiting API access in order to make sure that only the authorized parties have access to the respective resources/services. Please refer to [an overview of Authorization in API Manager]({{base_path}}/api-security/runtime/authorization/api-authorization) for more information. + +**Threat Protection** + +There are various threat protectors like Gateway Threat Protectors, Regular Expression Threat Protection, JSON Threat Protection, and XML Threat Protection for more specific security options. + +## Document APIs + +API documentation helps API subscribers to understand the functionality of the API and API publishers to market their APIs better and sustain competition. Using the API Publisher, you can add different types of documentation from various sources. Refer to [documentation on documenting APIs]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/api-documentation/add-api-documentation) for more information. + +## Test APIs + +You can test APIs directly in the API Publisher itself. Refer to [documentation on testing REST APIs]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-rest-api/test-a-rest-api) for more information. + +## API Revisions + +API Revisions can be used when an API Publisher needs to keep track of different deployments of the API. Refer to [documentation on API Revisions]({{base_path}}/api-design-manage/design/create-api/create-api-revisions) for more information. diff --git a/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/api-design-manage/design/endpoints/certificates.md b/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/api-design-manage/design/endpoints/certificates.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..89ed999fe --- /dev/null +++ b/en/docs/api-manager/4.6.0/api-design-manage/design/endpoints/certificates.md @@ -0,0 +1,182 @@ +# Managing Endpoint Certificates + +If your API backend is secured with a self-signed certificate (or a certificate which is not signed by a CA) you need to import the backend certificate to the API manager (Gateway) client-truststore and restart the server.
