Applying policies without the proxy
It is fairly easy to apply policies to your proxied API hosted in Anypoint Platform: you just create a proxy and then apply runtime policies as the platform manages some things for you.
But what about applying policies but without using a proxy? In one of our projects, we needed to apply HTTP Basic Authentication policy to the endpoint.
The solution consists of two steps:
- Use Auto-Discovery element to link your flows with the created API in Anypoint Platform
- Link your application running in Anypoint Platform with your Anypoint Organization
- Get your client_id, client_secret as described in Step 1 here
- Go to Runtime Manager in Anypoint Platform
- Choose your application from the list and click Manage Application button
- Click Properties tab
- Enter following data: anypoint.platform.client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID> anypoint.platform.client_secret=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
- Redeploy your application
