APIM supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) as an authentication method for your Generic OAuth2 API policy. Multiple Identity Providers are supported. When you set up Generic OAuth2 as the authorization agent with OIDC, your OIDC application becomes the authentication provider for the API.

Policies Snap Pack

API Policies are available in your Org when you subscribe to the APIM feature and Policies Snap Pack. Despite its name, the Policies Snap Pack does not contain Snaps, but it does function like other Snap Packs.

You can configure Snap Pack to use one of the two following distributions:

  • Stable contains policies that have been available for a few releases. This distribution is updated quarterly release.

  • Latest contains the newest policies and policy features. This distribution is typically updated every month.

The distributions are determined by the Snaplex version updates, which coincide with the monthly and quarterly releases.

The following resources provide more information about the SnapLogic release process:

Supported API Policies

Authentication and Authorization

...

  • Client Throttling: Limits Task invocations for a specific client during a specific time period by throttling or rejecting requests from that client. Install this API policy to help protect a Snaplex from being overloaded by too many requests.

  • Request Size Limit: Limits the size of each request. 

  • IP Restriction: Restricts access based on the client IP address of the request. If the request does not meet the configured requirements, it is rejected with a 403 Forbidden error.

  • CORS Restriction: Sets the appropriate headers for requests coming from a different domain so that the response is not blocked by the browser.

  • HTTP Redirect: Manages HTTP redirection for API requests.

  • HTTP Response Cache: Use this policy for highly reoccurring and static responses to manage latency and response times, which can reduce the load on the upstream API as well as the proxy server.

  • HTTP Retry: Use this policy to set up retry logic for requests made to your Proxy and Proxy endpoints.
