Applying a policy template on the API Details page

To customize the policy configurations for an API by using a policy template, you must apply the template that contains a set of policies. After you apply the template, configure the properties of the individual policies to suit the runtime requirements for that API.

1. Open the menu options and select APIs.
   A list of all registered APIs appears.
2. Select the required API.
3. Click Edit.
4. Click Policies.
   The API's policy information is provided in the following sections:

   • Policy stages. Various stages the policy is categorized into. 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. Click Apply template.
   The Apply template dialog box appears.
6. In the Template chooser, select one or more policy templates that you want to apply to the API.
   You can choose to display the details of an individual policy template by clicking the Info icon. You can see the list of policies that are defined in the particular template.
7. Select one or more policy templates that you want webMethods API Gateway to run at run time.
8. Click Next. Select at least one template to use the Next button.
9. In the Apply Templates to API wizard, review the list of policies and the configuration details of the associated policies.
   You can click Previous to return to the Template chooser wizard and change your template selections. Click Cancel if you want to abandon all your changes and return to the Policies tab.
10. Click Apply.
    If you have one or more policy conflicts, webMethods API Gateway displays the conflicting and incompatible policies with a Conflict icon. You can choose to resolve the policy conflicts and click Apply, or you can continue to Apply with conflicts. If you choose to continue with conflicts, webMethods API Gateway sets the focus on the conflicting policies. A Conflict icon displays next to the policy names in the Infographic section and the corresponding policy stages. webMethods API Gateway redirects you to the Policies tab. The newly applied policy template that comprises a set of policies and the policy properties is displayed in the Infographic section.
11. After you apply the required policy templates, click Save to save the updated API.
