Description
Notes
Gateway licensing
The Gateway licensing has been streamlined into the following tiers:
  • API Gateway Essentials:
    This is a renaming of the previous "API Proxy" Gateway. No changes in functionality.
  • API Gateway Enterprise:
    This replaces the previous "SOA Gateway" and includes functionality previously available only in the CA Mobile API Gateway (including WebSockets and XMPP).
The "XML Firewall" license has been deprecated.
Note:
Existing XML Firewall customers should contact their CA account manager to migrate to another edition of the
CA API Gateway
.
See Product Summary for more information.
Read-only entities
Solution kits can be set as "read only" by the author, to prevent accidental modification. This maintains the integrity of the functionality provided by the solution kit and prevents issues during upgrading of solution kits.
For more information, see "Read-Only Entities" in Manage Solution Kits.
Bulk insert of JDBC data
The new Insert JDBC Data in Bulk Assertion simplifies adding large amounts of data into a JDBC data source from a source CSV file.
CA Single Sign-On caching
CA Single Sign-On authentication now uses caching to improve performance. For more information, see CA Single Sign-on Configuration Properties.
Support for CentOS
CentOS is now supported for the software installation of the 
CA API Gateway
. It is also now the underlying operating system for the
CA API Gateway
Virtual Appliance.
Support for CORS
The new Process CORS Request Assertion adds support for Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests to the 
CA API Gateway
.
Support for cloud-init
The Amazon Web Service AMI version of the
CA API Gateway
now supports cloud-init to automatically perform certain operations when starting a new Gateway instance. For more information, see How to Use cloud-init with the Gateway AMI.
Bypass auditing when database is full
By default, the
CA API Gateway
stops processing messages when the database reaches a certain threshold. Now, you can specify that the Gateway stop writing audit messages once the threshold is reached but continue message processing.
To enable the bypass, modify the
audit.managementStrategy
cluster property in Audit Cluster Properties.
Migrate solution kits
Solution kits can now be included as part of the migration process. For more information, see Migrate Solution Kits.
Publish Swagger service
The new Publish Swagger Service Wizard allows you to create a service endpoint on the Gateway that is protected/defined by a Swagger document. 
Task menu reorganization
The Task menu (Manage menu in the browser client) has been reorganized for improved navigation. Tasks are now grouped within their own relevant categories.
To learn about the new organization, see "Tasks menu" under Policy Manager Menus.
RHEL 7 Support for Software Gateways
The Software form factor of the
CA API Gateway
can now be deployed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. (
Note:
This does not apply to Gateways in the Appliance form factor.)
Configuring the Gateway silently
(Hardware/Virtual Gateways only)
You can now configure a Gateway node "headlessly" from the command line, without using the Gateway main menu. For more information, see Auto-Provision a Gateway Node.
Update Portal integration
The new Update Portal Integration task updates Portal Integration Software on tenant 
CA API Gateway
s when a new version is available.
Documentation: "Audit Message Codes" renamed to "Audit Detail Codes"
The "Audit Message Codes" topic has been renamed to Audit Detail Codes to better reflect the information being relayed.
Documentation: Administrators Manual
Contents of the
CA API Gateway - Administrators Manual
is now fully integrated into Docops. This manual was distributed as a separate PDF file in previous releases.
