Create API Proxy with different proxy base path and target base path

[gauravjain_59]

I have a requirement where I want to create an API Proxy with proxy base path not same is target end point. I mean , we have the following scenario

Get Access Token - HTTP POST

Content Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Target Endpoint: http://test.com:8080/authn/oauth2/healthcare/access_token?grant_type=password&username=test&password=test

External URL (Proxy Base Path): /authentication/access_token

So when I hit the proxy base path , it should be directly replaced by target endpoint

When I tried to create one, request sent to target is not correct, it's getting repeated.

Attaching the proxy and the trace.

Please let me know what is missing/incorrect

Hi @GAURAV

Please see this answer: https://community.apigee.com/questions/18339/how-to-remove-pathsuffix-from-being-forwarded-to-t.html

You are looking for

context.setVariable("target.copy.pathsuffix", false)

Many thanks, Sean

Hi @GAURAV

Please include the following line in your JavaScript policy

context.setVariable("target.copy.queryparams", false);

The one you have is for path parameters whereas the pass through is happening for the query parameters. For the list of Variables, check this link

NOTES:

1) Looked at your trace. Its not a good idea to pass all these sensitive info as query parameters. Please change them to urlencodedform parameters

2) Also found that the proxy is deployed on default vhost. Please change that to secure so its available only on https and NOT http. Thats OAuth2.0 standard and more secure

Hope this helps
