Layer7 API Management

Hello,

I'm trying out the 8.3 version of the gateway, but for some reason there's no "compare expression" assertion available. There's 8.3 documentation for this assertion available so I'm guessing this should normally be there?

Hello

I've just reviewed one of my lab 8.3 gateway's and can see the assertion, see below.  I have a regular Gateway license along with a MAG, do you know what type of license does your gateway has?

Cheers

Hi,

So you think it's a license issue ? Do different licenses activate different assertions ?

Anyway I don't know which license it is, it just states "key":

I've also tried an internal use license (Our company is a CA partner so we have multiple licenses) but I still have the same problem.

I even tried the 8.2 gateway with an 8.2 policy manager but there again I don't see all the assertions I should see, so it's not an 8.3 issue. Maybe we better handle this issue by mail ?

Are you logged in to the API Gateway as an administrator? It is possible that this assertion is restricted based on Role Based Access Controls or Security Zones. These functions allow administrators to restrict access to certain portions of the API Gateway or certain assertions and policy tools.

Hi,

Yes I am using the main admin account created during the gateway setup.

Can you provide me with the output of the following command when run from the privileged shell of the API Gateway: ls -l /opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/runtime/modules/assertions

Oh and by the way:

In the meanwhile I'm trying to get the portal software running, but after installing the .sh script, which indicates succes, I don't see the service in the list of "publish internal service". The only service I can select is the security token service, nothing else...

I think all this is related, it seems as if the gateway doesn't load all the assertion files or something

Hello

I think this might be better handled via a support case.  We would need to review the license in detail and confirm that your admin user's roles are correct.  As your contact information is not available on this public forum, can you raise a case yourself and either myself, Eric or one of my colleagues can follow up.

Hi Christopher,

Ok, so what do I need to open a support case? Currently this functionality seems to be disabled for my account since I can't click on "open new case".

Regards

Hello

I have raised a case and contacted you by e-mail.  Hopefully we can identify cause and update this thread shortly.

I worked with YGreets to examine Gateway.  Suspected filesystem permission problem, unable to resolve with:-

rpm --setperms --setugids ssg

so he rebuilt new server from ova and problem went away. Unable to completely rule out license problem either.
