Hi Experts,

We have requirement to route to different endpoints based on the ‘operationName’ in an API. For this to achieve we are using “Context-based Routing” to have rules based on ‘operationName’ to route to different endpoints.

But, as we got 2 routing endpoints, 1st routing endpoint requires a credentials to pass as basic auth for that we have “Outbound Authentication - Transport” policy and which works fine. But for the 2nd routing endpoint which does not require credentials will also get routed with “ Outbound Authentication - Transport” policy’s credentials which is creating an issue.

How to achieve this requirement to have routing specific credentials to pass? Please help to advise

API Gateway Advanced Edition fix level:

Version: 10.5.0.30.1075

APIGW IS fix levels:

IS_10.5_SPM_Fix4
IS_10.5_Core_Fix19

Thanks
Niranth

@Niranth_NS Have you checked the scope option to have different set of the policy based on the operation ?

Hi @DINESH_J Thank you for your response. Thought of same but the scope-level policies are not applicable for ‘Routing’ policy. only applicable for Identify and Access, Request Processing, Traffic Monitoring, Response Processing and Error Handling.

Also, got below information:
“Defining multiple HTTP Authentication methods to be used with different endpoints in context-based routing is currently not possible. and There is already a feature request for the same”

To address routing-specific credentials for different endpoints in API Gateway Advanced Edition, ensure separate policies for each endpoint’s authentication, benefiting moving-services.net . Review configurations and consider adjustments to align credentials with respective routing requirements.

Replace you Outbound Authentication policy with a request transformation policy.
In this policy, place a condition on the operationName and inject authentication information to your backend.
