Working with Run-Time Policies
You create run-time policies and apply them to proxy APIs in order to govern the APIs' run-time execution.
A run-time policy is a sequence of actions that are carried out by a policy-enforcement point (PEP) gateway when a consumer requests a particular API through the gateway. The actions in a run-time policy perform activities such as identifying and validating consumers, validating signatures, and capturing performance metrics.
This section describes how to create run-time policies using CentraSite Business UI and store them in the CentraSite registry/repository.
When you create a run-time policy in CentraSite Business UI, you:
Define the virtual types on which to you want to enforce the policy.
CentraSite provides predefined virtual types.
Add run-time actions to the policy and configure their parameters.
CentraSite provides a set of built-in run-time actions.
Specify the gateway (for example,
webMethods Mediator) to which you will publish the policy and its virtual types.
Activate the policy.
