Outbound anonymous

The Outbound anonymous policy configures the outbound connection to use anonymous authentication when invoking backend services.

Use this policy when the target endpoint does not require authentication or accepts anonymous access.

This policy is enabled by default, and when selected, it appears without editable fields in the form view because no additional configuration is required. Simply adding the policy makes the outbound call anonymous.

In IBM API Studio, this policy is identified by the kind OutboundAnonymous.

Example of a Outbound anonymous policy:

kind: OutboundAnonymous
apiVersion: api.ibm.com\v1
metadata:
  name: OutboundAnonymous
  version: 1.0
  namespace: sample  
 spec: {}

To invoke the Outbound Anonymous policy, you can specify:

Type	Description
kind	`OutboundAnonymous`. Defines the type of policy that is being configured.
apiVersion	Denotes the version of the API in use.
metadata	Denotes the metadata or details of the asset type. It covers this metadata: `name`. Name of the policy. `version`. Version of the policy. `namespace`. Namespace of the policy.
spec	The `spec` section is empty for this policy. It includes no configurable parameters because the policy automatically applies anonymous authentication.
