in wso2 api manager what is the usage of this wsdl:
RestApiAdmin
https://[apim-host]:[apim-port]/services/RestApiAdmin?wsdl
this is add api but dont show in publisher or store or carbon
what is this usage?
This is the admin service that is used to deploy APIs to the gateway. When you create an API in the API publisher, the API publisher calls this API in the gateway to deploy that API in the gateway.

How to connect Azure REST API with OData client? Does the current Azure Rest API follow OData schema? If yes, how do I connect in my OData client.
I am building a microservice project in which I need certain clarification on what to do in these situations:
for centralized authentication and authorization or centralized authentication on API gateway, every request must contain jwt token and pass-through API gateway to call other microservice also it should check which user has permission to access API in other microservice. So how can I handle those situations?
I will be using specific tool for exploitation.
users will come through either web browser or mobile app. your api gateway will be exposed to external world. most of the apiGateway nowdays contains plugins for authentication and authorization. for example you can use OIDC plugin with api gatway to authenticate the users which will return JWT token to call the internal apis. you can refer below component diagram link for architecture diagram
We have requirement to configure Azure AD as a 3rd party key manager in WSO2 API gateway 2.1.0. Is there any reference available for the key manager client implementation with azure AD?
The scenario is that a mobile app will use Azure AD for authentication. Azure AD returns a token. Mobile app uses this token for API invocation via WSO2 API gateway. As per my understanding, this can be handled by configuring Azure AD as key manager in WSO2 API mananger.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Based on my understanding, the WOS2 API Manager used Key Manager to handle all clients, security and access token-related operations.
To integrate WOS2 API Manager with Azure AD, we need to implement the Key Manager ourselves. Then we can follow this document to configure the Third-Party Key Manager.
See the WSO2 default Key Manager implementation for a sample Key Manager implementation.
And here is the helpful documents about integrating application with Azure AD:

I have a existing application built in ASP.NET. This application has REST APIs. We are wanting to expose these APIs via API connect platform. Now, since our APIs are already authenticated, if we use IBM API connect, then how will end user authenticate to our API and API consumer authenticate via IBM Developer portal?
Lets say our API clientA logs into our developer portal, creates an app and then subscribes to our API. Now when end users try to access our API "VIA ClientA", we need to authenticate the request.
I tried to follow this tutorial http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.toolkit.doc/task_apionprem_redirect_form_.html
But it does NOT get redirected to our external URL.
Please help!
The API gateway (part of API Connect) establishes and enforces authentication between the API end-user/subscriber and your outbound API service running on API Connect. The gateway acts as a service proxy to authenticate potentially many subscribers to a particular API plan (made up of one or several APIs), using API keys that are generated as new subscribers onboard to that plan. The management and enforcement of those API keys is accomplished entirely within API Connect. Nothing is required on your part, except the initial setup parameters for each API.
For that same API, the back-end authentication between API Connect and your existing REST API endpoint is different: it is the same for all end-user subscribers. Every time an end user calls an API they have previously subscribed to, they must first authenticate to API Connect using their unique key (since their usage must be tracked, billed and possibly limited). Once authenticated to the API gateway, all subscribers invoking usage instances for this API will be authenticated to the same API endpoint using the same authentication scheme and credentials as created when setting up the API.
Their are several choices of back-end authentication schemes when using external API endpoints. See this tutorial for more information and links to further resources:

My system should verify user's type during registering process. The verification is done with data from Salesforce. I created Salesforce REST API. I wondering how should I create ZF2 client to consume Salesforce REST API ? Should it be done as a zf2 lazy service, or just as a regular service ?
