Setting up Entry gate

{{container}}{{container layoutStyle="columns"}}(((

In this microlearning, we will focus on setting up the entry gate for the API Gateway.

This entry gate will host the endpoints that will be made available to external parties so they can call these endpoints to obtain access to certain backend operations (if authorized)

14

This microlearning centers around setting up the entry gate for the API Gateway solution of eMagiz.

15

With entry gate, we mean: The piece of functionality that hosts all endpoints and is responsible for checking the authentication and routing messages to the correct backend operation

16

With API Gateway we mean: A collection of RESTful API operations that can be published to the outside world to give them access to applications that are linked to your business process

17

18

The entry gate is created by eMagiz without the need of any user making manual changes to the entry gate. This accelerates the building of an API Gateway solution a lot.

21

22

The central part where all data traffic is coming in is called the entry gate when we talk about the API Gateway.

23

This entry gate is responsible for hosting all designed endpoints that have been transferred to Create.

24

25

The first time you transfer an API integration to Create eMagiz will create the entry gate for you. You as a user do not have to do one single thing. Easy right.

26

27

Furthermore, every time you add a new API integration to Create eMagiz will automatically update all entry gate to ensure that this newest operation can be accessed by external parties.

28

29

In case you have made changes to existing operations you will have to use the Reset flow option to ensure that the latest changes are indeed actualized in the entry gate.

30

This can be done without harm as eMagiz has standardized the entry gate for you and you don't have to make changes manually.
