  • 1.  Threshold Configuration in Datapower v2014.1.4.6

    Posted 08/19/19 07:38 AM
    Hi All, 

    I have a requirement to configure multiple clients to consume same service in datapower gateway but with different threshold values.  Can someone please suggest , how can we differentiate the clients in Datapower gateway. 
    Also , how can we configure the threshold value in datapower gateway. 

    I know we can differentiate clients in API Connect using Client ID and configure threshold value using Plans in Prodcut.

    Any links would be helpful. 

    Regards

    Is this part of an API managed by APIC or are you creating a MPGW in Datapower?
    I am assuming it is the latter else, you would just use multiple Plans in the Product.

    For the MPGW you could add an SLM that looks for the Credentials class to match based on IP and then throttle as necessary.
    The hard part will be how you are identifying the clients apart

    Not complete but for reference: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=64ad7602-fe9a-4b97-9fd1-aef688164384

    Hi Devin, 

    Correct this is for creating a MPGW in Datapower . I am following SLM to achieve this but SLM doesn't work if I use PassThrough for request and response type in MPGW and If I validate the request/response then it adds to extra latency. Is there a workaround for this ?

    You are correct hard part if to identify the client . I am doing this by adding a header parameter to identify a client . 

    Also, can you suggest if it is better to use Moving or Fixed window for Threshold Interval Type in SLM?
