  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • It is not possible to push API's to API Connect v2018 hosted on
bluemix. This is because IIB uses basic auth to authenticate to
the API Connect instance and this has been disabled for the
cloud managed version of API Connect.

This APAR provides an API Token based implementation compatible
with API Connect v2018 running on bluemix.

Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
USERS AFFECTED:
All user of IBM Integration Bus publishing to API Connect.


Platforms affected:
MultiPlatform

****************************************************************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
It is not possible to push APIs to API Connect v2018 hosted on
IBM Cloud. This is because IIB uses basic auth to authenticate
to
the API Connect instance and this has been disabled for the
cloud managed version of API Connect and an API key must be used
instead.

Additionally TLSv1.2 must be used as the SSL protocol for all
HTTPS connectivity and the object structure of some responses is
different between API Connect v5 and API Connect 2018.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The Toolkit and the mqsipushapis command have been updated to
allow the user to use a API key for publishing to API Connect.
In order to treat the password as an API key the username must
be left blank. Additionally TLSv1.2 is now used for the SSL
protocol for all HTTPS connections to API Connect.

Responses using the API Connect v2018 object structure are now
parsed correctly.
