  2. Click Gateways > Configure gateway.
  3. Provide the following gateway details:
    • Gateway name. Name of the API Gateway instance where you want to deploy the API.
    • Description. A brief summary of the gateway.
    • Provider. This field is auto-populated. It is by default webMethods.
    • Gateway URL. The URI of the API Gateway instance you want to configure. Use the following format:

      For a self-hosted instance of webMethods API Gateway: http://host:port where the port number you provide must be that of the IS port. For example, http://apigw01:5555. Use https if you are using a secure connection.

      For a cloud deployed instance: https://domain_name. For example, https://test.apigw-aw-eu.webmethods.io

    • Username. The username credential to access the API Gateway. Make sure that the user has Manage APIs functional privilege.
    • Password. The password credential to access the API Gateway.
    • Tags. The tags that you want to specify for the API Gateway that is being deployed.
