Proxy Security Policies

How to view, add, edit, and manage security policies for Proxies and Proxy endpoints in the API Manager.

Important: This page describes Classic APIM. For APIM 3.0, refer to API Management 3.0.

Overview

The supported security policies for Proxies and endpoints are the same as those for APIs and API Versions.

To apply security policies to the Proxy or to the endpoints, edit the Proxy settings or the endpoint settings.

Note: A Proxy and its endpoints can have a maximum of one enabled policy of each policy type. If both the Proxy and the endpoint have defined policies of the same type, the endpoint policy has precedence over the Proxy policy.

Learn more about each policy type and its settings: Supported API Policies
