Does anyone have a good tutorial/guide for setting up an API Gateway. I'm not finding much in web searches that give the actual requirements (firmware version required, etc) and basic steps for setting it up.

I've been tasked with determining if an API gateway on Netscaler/ADM would allow a cloud based webapp to send an API call to our on-prem environment that makes a query against an on-prem db. The additional complexity is that they want to have Azure(where the webapp will reside) to perform the authentication and pass the it's token on through a gateway and allow the api call/query to process.

Hi @Michael Payne​ - Is this how you're envisioning the flow?

@Akhil Nair​ 

Yes that's what I'm envisioning.

Please check this video to setup API GW - https://citrix.sharefile.com/d-sb6f56051247b4c33aec8f3d89c171e53. Meanwhile, I'll check the feasibility of the above deployment.

Thanks I watched that, the on-prem ADM does not have that menu structure(no securityapi gateway menu), making me think it's only available to the ADM Service in the cloud but not for on-prem ADM instances. I just haven't been able to find any documentation that says that. Basically a requirements list, if it's not available it's an easy answer to the question posed to me.

There are certainly advantages to deploying and monitoring with today's ADM Service. Particularly when using swagger. However, your list of requirements can be delivered natively with NetScaler. Check out these articles:

• API authentication with the NetScaler appliance
• Whitelisting with Bot Detection
