OVERVIEW
This course aims to provide you with a functional understanding of the CA API Gateway 9.3 product. You will follow a fictitious company, Voonair Airlines, as they discover they have a problem that only the CA API Gateway product can solve. You will play a hands‐on role in discovering the architecture of a typical Gateway topology, implementing a basic cluster solution, publishing Voonair Airlines SOAP and REST APIs to be managed by CA API Gateway, creating fully configured policies to protect those APIs, and finally, adding strong security solutions to help stop potential threats.
Your ability to understand concepts around common IT infrastructure such as ESX servers, layer 2 and layer 3 switches, load balancers, Linux virtual machines as well as using relational databases such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to access identity management is essential to the success of this course. In addition, a strong background in web services, application servers and internetworking concepts will help provide a foundation of learning.
What You Will Learn
- Understand and decide on an architecture implementation of CA API Gateway
- Configure a basic Gateway cluster including primary and secondary nodes and database replication
- Create two fully configured policies to manage Voonair Airlines SOAP and REST APIs
- Discover advanced logging and auditing techniques and potential Gateway administrator tasks
- Implement security protocols to keep policies protected
For Managers
The CA API Gateway product line protects applications exposed as web services, connects applications across security and identity domains, and validates policy compliance end‐to‐end across a transaction. The CA API Gateway is a policy‐ optimized XML firewall and Web services Gateway that protects and controls how shared web services are access by and exposed to external applications.
Your team will be taught how to integrate with and protect web APIs, enable identity management across the Gateway solution, and gain basic troubleshooting skills for error‐free policy deployments.
