Apigee Europe - oAuth - JWT - Query

[anilsr]

I have two questions

1) Is there a hosted Apigee solution in Europe?

2) Is it possible to link the oauth authentication in apigee to our own service? So that a service on our side issues JWT oauth access tokens that the apigee api gateway uses to make authorization decisions, maybe in combination with a developer token?

PS : Asked on behalf of Apigee Prospect who sent an Email to commXXXXX@apigee.com , Planning to provide link to this question once we have an answer with a note saying "Please feel free to post a question in our community here instead of sending an email to commXXXXX@apigee.com "

1) we do have a hosted offering in Apigee Europe. As for the Apigee Trial version you wouldn't be able to choose the location but once you sign up as a customer you can choose where you want to hosted; Ireland.

2) Yes, this is a fairly common practice. In this case we would be relying on your underlying service to generate and manage the overall token. When the request reaches Apigee we would talk to your token management system for validation and then let the request go through to actual service.
