Hello Babu,
The preferred authentication scheme is OAuth1 or OAuth2, using tokens rather than user names and passwords. The documentation for this can be found here: http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/oauth-home. There are a number of advantages of using OAuth over password security. OAuth1 in particular, can be implemented quite easily and uses only the Verify Access Key policy to secure your API. I hope that you can possibly move to this strategy because it has many advantages.
Thanks for your information
