Rate Limit REST API Calls in IdentityIQ

[hmantri_sp (Harshita Mantri)]

Which IIQ version are you inquiring about?

Version 8.3

Share all details related to your problem, including any error messages you may have received.

Is there a centralized way to limit the number of REST/SCIM API calls that can be made from external system to IdentityIQ, other than tracking each call as a count in custom object on daily basis?

We need to choke the system at a central location to prevent unlimited calls.

Hi @hmantri_sp,

I dont think it exist. Maybe you can work at network or system level, limiting the number or time of connenction for that target system or creating a script

Hi @hmantri_sp,

There is no direct way by which you can limit the number of API call. You may need to place some middleware in between to limit the number of calls for a given endpoint.

Thanks

What about this end point → /identityiq/scim/v2/LaunchedWorkflows?

There is no limit . We had a same concern so we leveraged middle layer mulesoft cloud hub capability . So no direct expose to Sailpoint API , despite all apis are exposed from mule layer .

You can keep some information from this call, but I dont see a number of times or something else.

In every case you need to deploy something OOTB

As far as I see the same question was already asked few years ago and answer was pretty clear - it’s easier to do that on the network level.
