3.27. Configure Subscription-level Settings

DigitMarket™ API Manager allows subscriptions to be created in two ways; one from the Publisher portal and the other from the Developer portal.

• From the Publisher portal, DigitMarket™ API Manager allows publisher users (Business users, Approver users, and Admin users) to add a subscription on behalf of Developers. Publisher users can add a subscription from the Subscription menu of the Publisher portal.
• From the Developer portal, DigitMarket™ API Manager allows Developer users to subscribe to a Usage Plan by using the Subscription feature available in the Developer portal. For more information on how a Developer can subscribe to a plan, visit: Subscribe to a Plan.

The Subscription menu provides the Subscription-level configuration screen, from where the Publisher users (Business users, Approver users, and Admin users) can perform the following tasks:

• Configure settings to override the runtime behavior of APIs, which is set through Usage Plans.
• Add credentials for Basic Authentication and WS Security for resources and operations.
• Add authentication mechanisms for subscriptions.
• Add IP addresses to a blacklist and whitelist to specify the IPs that are disallowed and allowed to make calls.
• Add IP addresses and CIDR range for a subscription by choosing either Black List or White List options.
• Add the IP addresses range in CIDR format to minimize the difficulty of entering multiple IP’s.

The Subscriptions Configuration screen has three tabs. These tabs are described below:

Fig. 3.484 Subscriptions Configuration screen

1. Settings: The Settings tab displays the Subscription key and the Subscription status along with the Subscription expiration date, which is an editable field. It allows you to set credentials for Basic/ WS security/ Oauth Authentication security policy. You can blacklist/whitelist IPs and set MCT limits for each Resource and Operation covered under the subscription. Under the Settings tab, you can also select the gateway you want to map, set fault configuration and assign values for given authentication type.

The subscription advances from the Pending to Active status once the user clicks the Submit button and then completes the sync task from the Gateway Sync>Changes>Changes to Subscriptions.

2. Usage Policies: The Usage Policies tab allows the user to override Usage Policies for a subscription plan as set for the Resource or Operation at the plan-level.
3. Applications: The Applications tab lists down all the applications that are covered under a subscribed plan in an accordion tab.

Note

After submission, synchronize the Subscription from the Subscriptions Configuration screen or the Gateway Sync menu to make the changes operational on the gateway.

Common tasks:

• Navigating to the Subscriptions screen

  To navigate to the Subscriptions screen:

  • In the main menu, click Subscriptions.
  

  Fig. 3.485 Navigation menu - Subscriptions

  The Subscriptions page is displayed.

  

  Fig. 3.486 Subscriptions screen

• Propagate

You can propagate a subscription or perform bulk propagation to bring the subscription up-to-date with the latest plan update.

• Pagination

The Pagination feature at the bottom-right corner of the Subscription page allows you to choose the number of subscriptions to display per page. Twenty entries per page is displayed by default, but you can customize it by entering your required value in the text box at the bottom-right corner of the page. Use the previous and next icons to navigate between the pages.

3.27.1. Propagate a Subscription

Plans are propagated to bring it up-to-date with the latest release. As plans are propagated, subscriptions associated with it also need to be propagated in order to get the latest plan update. Users have the option to propagate their subscription using the Propagate option.

To propagate a subscription:

• On the Subscriptions page, click the blue Propagate button corresponding to each subscription. The blue Propagate button indicates that propagation is pending for that subscription, as plans associated with it have been modified. Hence the subscription needs to be re-propagated to be up-to-date with the latest plan revision. The green Propagate button corresponding to a subscription indicates that the subscription is up-to-date with the latest plan update.
• Upon clicking Propagate, a confirmation window displays asking you to confirm the propagation. Click Yes, to propagate the subscription.

You can also propagate multiple subscriptions.

To propagate subscriptions in bulk:

• Select the checkboxes corresponding to the subscriptions you wish to propagate. The Select All checkbox next to the Developer Name header allows you to select all the subscriptions.

• At the top of the Subscriptions table, next to the Add Subscription button, click Propagate . A confirmation window is displayed asking you to confirm propagation. Click Yes, to propagate the subscription.

Note

Only subscriptions in Active state can be propagated.

3.27.2. Add a Subscription

1. Navigate to the Subscriptions screen.

2. Click Add Subscription to display the Add Subscription dialog box.

   Fig. 3.490 Select Plan name

   Configuring Subscription Authentication Values:

   API Subscribers with Publisher rights (Publisher Users) can select an authentication type for a Subscription. This can be done from the Plan Authentication section under the Usage Plans tab of an API Pack. The Publisher user will define the Authentication Type for the Plan at Plan level, which a subscriber can subscribe. For the authentication configured at Plan level, the subscriber (with Publisher rights) can assign the values on this page. To know more about plan authentication types, refer Adding Plan Level Authentication section within Edit an API Pack.

   

   Fig. 3.491 Plan Authentication

6. At Plan level, the Publisher will configure one of these Authentication Types: Subscription key, IP Whitelisting, Header Key, Query Parameter.

   • If Authentication Type is Subscription key, a subscription key will be generated once you add the subscription.
   

   Fig. 3.492 Subscription key

   Note

   After a subscriber subscribes to a plan, a subscription key will be generated only if the plan authentication type is selected as Subscription-key.

   • If Authentication Type is Header key, you need to specify the header value. The header key name has already been configured at the time of selecting Plan Authentication type. In the Header Value box, enter the header key value.

     

     Fig. 3.493 Header key

     Note

     Reserved and extra reserved headers are not allowed.

   • If Authentication Type is selected as IP Whitelisting, you need to specify the IP address.

     Under IP filter section, click IP. Enter the IP address and select Add IP. The IP Address is added.

     

     Fig. 3.494 IP

     Under IP filter section, click CIDR. Enter the IP address range and click Add CIDR. The IP address range is added.

     

     Fig. 3.495 CIDR

     Note

     IP and CIDR range should be valid.

   • If Authentication Type is selected as Query Parameter, you need to specify the query parameter value. The query parameter name has already been configured at the time of selecting Plan Authentication type. In the Query Parameter Value box, enter the query parameter value.

     

     Fig. 3.496 Query Parameter

     Note

     Reserved special characters are not allowed in query parameters.

   Publisher can choose to define the header and query value on the respective subscription model or not. If the Publisher defines the header and query value, the subscriber with developer rights can specify the value at the time of subscription from the developer portal, but that subscriber will not be able to override the header and query name.

   It is advisable to have unique IP/Headers/query param for validation. For example, let us suppose that Subscription A created for Plan A contains header name ‘test’ and header value ‘1234’ then Subscription B for the Plan B cannot be created with same header name ‘test’ and header value ‘1234’ if both Plan A and Plan B contains common resources.

   In case they are not unique, then the combination of resource and IP/CIDR or Headers or QueryParam should be unique. For example, let us suppose that Plan A with a header key authentication has header name ‘test’ and Plan B with a header key authentication also has header name as ‘test’. Subscription A is created for the Plan A with header value ‘1234’. Subscription B is created for the Plan B. This Subscription B for Plan B cannot have a header value ‘1234’ if both Plan A and Plan B contains common resources.

   Note

   It is mandatory to specify the Plan authentication values before adding the Subscription.

7. Click Add to submit the form. The added Subscription displays in the Subscription list.

and Manage IPs dialog window, irrespective to selection of Privacy Options.

Fig. 3.509 Multiple IP on Manage IP window

Note

The default selection of Privacy Type drop down is Black List.

To Black List/ White List IPs using CIDR

CIDR is a shortname of Classless Inter-Domain Routing. It is an IP addressing procedure where a single IP address is used to assign many unique IP addresses.

CIDR Format

A CIDR IP address looks like a normal IP address along with a slash followed by a number, called the IP network or routing prefix.

Example format - 192.168.100.14/24

The format 192.168.100.14/24 represents the IPv4 address 192.168.100.14 and its associated routing prefix 192.168.100.0, or equivalently, its subnet mask 255.255.255.0, which has 24 leading 1-bits.

APIConnect eliminates the difficulty of entering many IP addresses for our customers. Instead of manually entering the IP, users can set the range of IP addresses.

CIDR option is available under Subscription page Gateway Action IP filter section.

Fig. 3.510 CIDR screen

Add CIDR to Black List the IPs - Default selection

You can blacklist IP ranges to block the access to calls originating from any IP to resources/operations within the range covered under the Subscription.

   Fig. 3.530 IP/CIDR

Note

It is mandatory to specify the Plan authentication values before submitting the Subscription.

3.27.3.8. Configure Usage Policy

Usage Policy can be configured at plan level (for all resources) as well as at resource level (for individual resources). By default, this will be inherited to all subscriptions for the plan, else this usage policy can be overridden on a specific subscription.

For a plan, if no usage policy is configured at plan level or resource level, the client will be able to consume unlimited number of requests. In such case, Inherit usage policies from the associated plan section will not display any policies. For a plan, if usage policies are configured at plan level or resource level, these will be displayed under Inherit usage policies from the associated plan section. You can override the inherited usage policies at subscription level for all resources or for individual resources from Override inherited usage policies section.

Read the scenario given below to understand when you may be required to override the inherited usage policies at subscription level:

Suppose the usage limits for a policy for plan A at plan level is 300 requests every 5 minutes. Client A and client B have both subscribed to the plan A. Let us suppose that client A is satisfied with the usage limit for policy of plan A while client B is not. Client B wants usage limits for a policy for plan A at plan level to be 200 requests every 5 minutes. In such case, client B can request to override the pre-configured policy for plan A at subscription level (for all resources or individual resources) and define their own usage limits. If done so, the new usage policies will override the policies that was configured for plan A only for client B. Client A’s usage limits for plan A will remain unaffected.

To learn how to create Usage Policy, refer: Create a Named Usage Policy

To view or configure Usage Policy details for a Subscription Plan:

1. Navigate to the Subscriptions screen.

2. Under the Usage Policies tab, you can see - Inherit usage policies from associated plans and Override inherited usage policies.

Inherit usage policies from associated plan: Under this section, usage policies that are assigned to plan and individual resources are displayed.

Fig. 3.531 Inherit usage policies from associated plan

Override inherited usage policies: Under this section, you can override or update the policies at plan and resource level for subscriptions.
