Require Timestamps
When this action is set for the API, Mediator requires that timestamps be included in the request header. Mediator checks the timestamp value against the current time to ensure that the request is not an old message. This serves to protect your system against attempts at message tampering, such as replay attacks.
Mediator rejects the request if either of the following happens:
*Mediator receives a timestamp that exceeds the time defined by the timestamp element.
*A timestamp element is not included in the request.
Note:
This action has no input parameters; you simply drag and drop the action into the Message Flow area.
Input Parameters
