Manage API protection definitions

An API protection definition is a set of configurations that define how resources are accessed.

We can add, modify, and delete definitions.

Steps

  1. Log in to the local management interface.

  2. Click AAC.

  3. Under Policy, click OpenID Connect and API Protection.

  4. Click Definitions.

  5. Perform one or more of the following actions:

      Modify definitions

      1. Select a definition in the list of definitions.

      2. Click Edit.

      3. Complete the properties for the definition.

        We cannot modify the definition name and grant types. See Create an API protection definition for details.

      4. Click Save.

      Delete definitions

      1. Select a definition or press Ctrl and select multiple definitions in the definition list.
      2. Click Remove. Confirm the deletion. Click OK to continue or click Cancel.

      A definition cannot be deleted if there are clients associated with it or it is attached to a resource.

  6. Click Save.
  7. When we add, modify or delete a definition, a message indicates there are changes to deploy. If we are finished with the changes, deploy them.

    For information, see Deploying pending changes.
