Web Service Connector - Akamai integration

Has anyone onboarded Akamai as a WebService (REST API) source in IDN?

Akamai uses a custom authentication type called “Akamai EdgeGrid”

Akamai Api client provides Access token, Client Token, Client Secret and host and Edgegrid authetication type generates a signature based on the above values.

Any input/help is much appreciated.

Hi Ruschel,

You can try using before operation rule to customize the authentication. You need to understand the logic how Edgegrid is generating the signature and try to write same logic in before operation rule.

IIQ Web Service Connector do not support Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication, however you can utilise the edgegrid-signer-core-5.1.1.jar to generate the Authorization header and add the Authorization header in the request (in the before operation rule).

You have to set the Web Service Connector Authentication as No Auth.
