Key Changes and Enhancements

  • API permissions are now environment-based.

  • You can now create multiple instances of an API.

  • APIs in Exchange can be managed from API Manager.

    • API Manager API v1.0 to manage API.

    • API Manager proxy API v1.0 to manage deployment of API proxies through API Manager.

  • Support for Mule 4 Early Access. Mule 4-related changes to API Manager are:

    • Classloader isolation exists between the application, the runtime and the connectors, and policies.

    • This release of Mule 4 changes the packaging, size, and scope of a policy.

    • All policies are non-blocking.

    • All policies except CORS, which is executed first, can be ordered.

  • Custom policy development has changed.

  • Header propagation no longer occurs by default and needs to be configured.

  • Resource level policy support, which was restricted to RAML-based APIs, is extended to any HTTP API.

  • API Manager does not support auto-generation and deployment of proxies.

  • The Throttling policy is not supported in this Mule release.

  • Mule 4 replaces the security manager policies with two HTTP Basic Authentication policies:

    • A combination of HTTP Basic Authentication and Simple Security Manager

    • A combination of HTTP Basic Authentication and LDAP Security Manager

      The policy protects an API by expecting and validating a user name and password.

  • You can configure the Rate Limiting policy if the quota is shared among the cluster nodes or not. By default, the quota is shared among the cluster nodes.
