Reference: Self-hosted gateway container configuration settings

  • Άρθρο

APPLIES TO: Developer | Premium

This article provides a reference for required and optional settings that are used to configure the API Management self-hosted gateway container.

To learn more about our (Kubernetes) production guidance, we recommend reading this article.

Important

This reference applies only to the self-hosted gateway v2. Minimum versions for availability of settings are provided.

Configuration API integration

The Configuration API is used by the self-hosted gateway to connect to Azure API Management to get the latest configuration and send metrics, when enabled.

Here is an overview of all configuration options:

Name Description Required Default Availability
gateway.name ID of the self-hosted gateway resource. Yes, when using Microsoft Entra authentication N/A v2.3+
config.service.endpoint Configuration endpoint in Azure API Management for the self-hosted gateway. Find this value in the Azure portal under Gateways > Deployment. Yes N/A v2.0+
config.service.auth Defines how the self-hosted gateway should authenticate to the Configuration API. Currently gateway token and Microsoft Entra authentication are supported. Yes N/A v2.0+
config.service.auth.azureAd.tenantId ID of the Microsoft Entra tenant. Yes, when using Microsoft Entra authentication N/A v2.3+
config.service.auth.azureAd.clientId Client ID of the Microsoft Entra app to authenticate with (also known as application ID). Yes, when using Microsoft Entra authentication N/A v2.3+
config.service.auth.azureAd.clientSecret Secret of the Microsoft Entra app to authenticate with. Yes, when using Microsoft Entra authentication (unless certificate is specified) N/A v2.3+
config.service.auth.azureAd.certificatePath Path to certificate to authenticate with for the Microsoft Entra app. Yes, when using Microsoft Entra authentication (unless secret is specified) N/A v2.3+
config.service.auth.azureAd.authority Authority URL of Microsoft Entra ID. No https://login.microsoftonline.com v2.3+
config.service.auth.tokenAudience Audience of token used for Microsoft Entra authentication No https://azure-api.net/configuration v2.3+
config.service.endpoint.disableCertificateValidation Defines if the self-hosted gateway should validate the server-side certificate of the Configuration API. It is recommended to use certificate validation, only disable for testing purposes and with caution as it can introduce security risk. No false v2.0+
config.service.integration.timeout Defines the timeout for interacting with the Configuration API. No 00:01:40 v2.3.5+

The self-hosted gateway provides support for a few authentication options to integrate with the Configuration API which can be defined by using config.service.auth.

This guidance helps you provide the required information to define how to authenticate:

  • For gateway token-based authentication, specify an access token (authentication key) of the self-hosted gateway in the Azure portal under Gateways > Deployment.
  • For Microsoft Entra ID-based authentication, specify azureAdApp and provide the additional config.service.auth.azureAd authentication settings.

Sovereign clouds

Here is an overview of settings that need to be configured to be able to work with sovereign clouds:

Name Public Azure China US Government
config.service.auth.tokenAudience https://azure-api.net/configuration (Default) https://azure-api.cn/configuration https://azure-api.us/configuration
logs.applicationinsights.endpoint https://dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track (Default) https://dc.applicationinsights.azure.cn/v2/track https://dc.applicationinsights.us/v2/track

How to configure settings

Kubernetes YAML file

When deploying the self-hosted gateway to Kubernetes using a YAML file, configure settings as name-value pairs in the data element of the gateway's ConfigMap. For example:

apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
        name: contoso-gateway-environment
    data:
        config.service.endpoint: "contoso.configuration.azure-api.net"
        telemetry.logs.std: "text"
        telemetry.logs.local.localsyslog.endpoint: "/dev/log"
        telemetry.logs.local.localsyslog.facility: "7"

[...]

Helm chart

When using Helm to deploy the self-hosted gateway to Kubernetes, pass chart configuration settings as parameters to the helm install command. For example:

helm install azure-api-management-gateway \
    --set gateway.configuration.uri='contoso.configuration.azure-api.net' \
    --set gateway.auth.key='GatewayKey contosogw&xxxxxxxxxxxxxx...' \
    --set secret.createSecret=false \
    --set secret.existingSecretName=`mysecret` \
    azure-apim-gateway/azure-api-management-gateway
