Application gateways

An application gateway is a type of network device that is used to manage and secure access to web applications. It acts as a firewall and proxy server. You use it to enforce security policies, monitor traffic, and provide load balancing and caching capabilities. Application gateways can be used to protect web applications from malicious attacks, and can help improve the performance and availability of web applications.

Note: Application gateway is available as a requestable feature, CI-132622 IAG Identity Fabric management. To request this feature, contact your IBM® Sales representative or IBM contact and indicate your interest in enabling this capability. If you have permission to create a support ticket, create it with the public preview numbers. Verify trial subscriptions cannot create support tickets.

To set up an application gateway, you must complete the following tasks.

  • Create the gateway.
  • Add an OpenID connect provider.
  • Add a resource.
  • Optionally, edit the container settings.
