Service registry configuration | Security
Security parameters help protect upstream connections and traffic volume. They enable mutual TLS to the backend service and gateway-side rate limiting before requests are forwarded.
Service registry upstreams can be customized through either the Administration API, the user interface, or static configuration files. The configuration is organized around:
Security parameters
Mutual TLS makes the gateway use mutual TLS when connecting to the upstream. This option requires the upstream scheme to be https.
Rate limiting applies request throttling before traffic is forwarded to the upstream.
Request count defines how many requests are accepted during the selected time unit.
Time unit defines the rate-limit window. Accepted values are millisecond, second, and minute.
Penality (ms) defines the delay applied after the accepted request count is exceeded.
Timeout (ms) defines the maximum throttling wait time before the request is rejected.
Memory length defines how many recent rate-limit entries are kept in memory for the upstream.
