  • 1.  Proxy for API Portal

    Posted Jul 19, 2016 10:53 PM

    Hello There,

    Can you please help me with why we need to set up a proxy for API Portal. This is mentioned in docops as an optional set up. Can someone please throw some light on it. (Optional) Set Up Proxy for CA API Developer Portal - CA API Developer Portal - 3.5 - CA Technologies Documentation

     

    Thank you!

    I have seen networks designed in such a way where API portal has to go to internet before reaching the gateway cluster, in such scenarios i believe proxy would be helpful in hiding the IP addresses.

    Portal calls API's published on the Gateway. If your portal needs a proxy to talk to the API gateway based on your network design, you can configure that according to the docops article.
