OAS Security Schemes
F5 NGINX Management Suite API Connectivity Manager lets you secure APIs with OpenAPI Spec (OAS) security schemes. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for setting up basic authentication and API key authentication security schemes to secure your APIs and control access to authorized users or applications.
Overview
The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) allows you to specify authentication and authorization requirements, or security schemes, for your APIs, ensuring that only authorized users or applications can access them. These security schemes are applied globally, meaning they are enforced for all APIs within the OAS.
Note:
When configuring security schemes, keep in mind that path-level security requirements will not be applied and are ignored.
Listed below are the OAS security schemes that API Connectivity Manager supports.
| OAS Authorization Schemes | ACM Supported Schemes |
|---|---|
| Basic Authentication | Supported APIs with this scheme expect credentials to be included in the HTTP Authorization request header. |
| API Key Authentication | Supported The API Key security scheme uses a unique API key to authenticate requests. With this scheme, the API expects the API key to be passed as a query parameter or header in the HTTP request. |
| OAuth2 JWT Assertion | Not supported |
| OAuth2 Token Introspection | Not supported |
Before You Begin
To complete the instructions in this guide, you need the following:
- API Connectivity Manager is installed, licensed, and running
- One or more Infra and Service workspaces
- One or more Environments
Basic Authentication Security Scheme
Basic Authentication is a security scheme that is commonly used to authenticate HTTP requests. The request contains a header field in the form of Authorization: Basic <credentials>, where <credentials> is the Base64-encoded username and password joined by a single colon.
With Basic Authentication, API owners can restrict access to their APIs by requiring usernames and passwords; API access is granted only after a username and password are validated.
Security Consideration
We recommend using Basic Authentication only over encrypted channels such as HTTPS in order to minimize security risks.

Configure Basic Authentication Scheme
To configure a basic authentication scheme, take the following steps:
-
Create an API spec with the basic security scheme configured. In the following example, take a look at how

Pass traffic to the endpoints. The following example sends a request through a proxy to the Pet Store server, using Basic Authentication. A successful request will return a

401curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://54.188.248.124/v1/pet { "message": "Unauthorized", "status": "401" }
API Key Authentication Security Scheme
The API Key Authentication security scheme uses a unique API key to authenticate requests. The API key is usually a long, randomly generated string provided to the client by the API owner. To access the API, the client must include this key as a query parameter or in the request header. The API owner can use this key to identify the client and authorize access to the API.

You can find out more about\nSwagger at [http://swagger.io](http://swagger.io). In the third iteration of the pet store, we've switched to the design first approach!\nYou can now help us improve the API whether it's by making changes to the definition itself or to the code.\nThat way, with time, we can improve the API in general, and expose some of the new features in OAS3.\n\nSome useful links:\n- [The Pet Store repository](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-petstore)\n- [The source API definition for the Pet Store](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-petstore/blob/master/src/main/resources/openapi.yaml)", "termsOfService": "http://swagger.io/terms/", "contact": { "email": "apiteam@swagger.io" }, "license": { "name": "Apache 2.0", "url": "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" }, "version": "1.0.17" }, "security": [ { "ExampleApiKeyAuth": [] } ], "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more about Swagger", "url": "http://swagger.io" }, "servers": [ { "url": "https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3" } ], "tags": [ { "name": "pet", "description": "Everything about your Pets", "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more", "url": "http://swagger.io" } }, { "name": "store", "description": "Access to Petstore orders", "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more about our store", "url": "http://swagger.io" } }, { "name": "user", "description": "Operations about user" } ], "paths": { "/pet": { "put": { "tags": [ "pet" ], "summary": "Update an existing pet", "description": "Update an existing pet by Id", "operationId": "updatePet", "requestBody": { "description": "Update an existent pet in the store", "content": { "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/xml": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } }, "required": true }, "responses": { "200": { "description": "Successful operation", "content": { "application/xml": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } } }, "400": { "description": "Invalid ID supplied" }, "404": { "description": "Pet not found" }, "405": { "description": "Validation exception" } } }, "post": { "tags": [ "pet" ], "summary": "Add a new pet to the store", "description": "Add a new pet to the store", "operationId": "addPet", "requestBody": { "description": "Create a new pet in the store", "content": { "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/xml": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } }, "required": true }, "responses": { "200": { "description": "Successful operation", "content": { "application/xml": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } }, "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } } }, "405": { "description": "Invalid input" } } } }, "/pet/findByStatus": { "get": { "tags": [ "pet" ], "summary": "Finds Pets by status", "description": "Multiple status values can be provided with comma separated strings", "operationId": "findPetsByStatus", "parameters": [ { "name": "status", "in": "query", "description": "Status values that need to be considered for filter", "required": false, "explode": true, "schema": { "type": "string", "default": "available", "enum": [ "available", "pending", "sold" ] } } ], "responses": { "200": { "description": "successful operation", "content": { "application/xml": { "schema": { "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } }, "application/json": { "schema": { "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Pet" } } } } }, "400": { "description": "Invalid status value" } } } }, "/pet/findByTags": { "get": { "tags": [ "pet" ], "summary": "Finds Pets by tags", "description": "Multiple tags can be provided with comma separated strings.

Create a proxy with
specRefreferencing the spec from step 1. See the following example for how your proxy request body should look withapikey-authnconfigured on the policy.Note, since the referenced spec uses the API Key Authentication security scheme, you need to include the required API key within the POST/PUT request body.
