Overview of this book

IBM API Connect enables organizations to drive digital innovation using its scalable and robust API management capabilities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. With API Connect's security, flexibility, and high performance, you'll be able to meet the needs of your enterprise and clients by extending your API footprint. This book provides a complete roadmap to create, manage, govern, and publish your APIs. You'll start by learning about API Connect components, such as API managers, developer portals, gateways, and analytics subsystems, as well as the management capabilities provided by CLI commands. You’ll then develop APIs using OpenAPI and discover how you can enhance them with logic policies. The book shows you how to modernize SOAP and FHIR REST services as secure APIs with authentication, OAuth2/OpenID, and JWT, and demonstrates how API Connect provides safeguards for GraphQL APIs as well as published APIs that are easy to discover and well documented. As you advance, the book guides you in generating unit tests that supplement DevOps pipelines using Git and Jenkins for improved agility, and concludes with best practices for implementing API governance and customizing API Connect components. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to transform your business by speeding up the time-to-market of your products and increase the ROI for your enterprise.

Summary

This chapter covered multiple methods provided by APIC to secure the APIs (or resources, as they are often called). Security is a vast and multi-layered subject, one of the most critical layers being authentication of parties seeking access to these Resources. These parties could be a typical user, a Resource Owner, or a Client/Application that intends to access these Resources. A comprehensive platform, such as APIC, provides many techniques to apply security to its protected Resources, and authenticate various parties that are trying to access these Resources.

This chapter was about exploring details of many such API security methods provided by APIC. All the security methods, except for the API Keys method, depend upon the setup of a user registry. If the security mechanism is OAuth and OIDC, then the setup also requires setting up an OAuth provider resource first. You covered these setups in the early part of this chapter. In the Preparing for the APIC security implementation...
