Modifying a Policy Template on the API Details Page

Edit online

You must have the webMethods API Gateway's manage policy templates functional privilege assigned.

The Policies tab on the API details page specifies the set of policies that webMethods API Gateway executes when an application requests access to that particular API.

The API can have a set of policies that are applied through a global policy, through a policy template, through a scope-level policy, and through API-level policies.

To modify the details of a policy template on the API details page

  1. Click APIs in the title navigation bar.
    A list of all registered APIs appears.
  2. Select the required API.
  3. Click Edit.
    If the API is active, webMethods API Gateway displays a warning message to let you know that the API is active.
  4. Click the Policies tab.
    The API's policy information is provided in the following sections:
    • Policy catalog - Threat Protection, Transport, Identify and Access, Request Processing, Routing, Traffic Monitoring, Response Processing, Error Handling
    • Infographic - List of applied policies
    • Policy properties - Collection of policy properties
  5. In the Infographic section, do the following for each policy in the list:
    1. Select the policy whose properties you want to examine or set.
    2. In the Policy properties section, set the properties as necessary.
      Note: Required properties are marked with an asterisk.
    3. Use the Delete (X) icon in any individual policy to remove that particular policy from the Infographic section.
  6. Click Open in full-screen to view policy properties in full screen mode.
    The Open in full-screen button is located in the upper right-hand corner of the Policy Configuration tab.

  7. Set the properties of the displayed policy, and then click OK.
    To exit full screen mode, click the Minimize icon.
  8. Click Save to save the updated API.
    Activate the API, if it is not active, to put it into effect.
