Disabling Security for APIs¶

An API can be invoked without authentication by disabling security. Pick one of the following methods to disable security depending on the Choreo Connect mode you have chosen.

Mode	Method
Choreo Connect with WSO2 API Manager as a Control Plane	Via WSO2 API Manager Publisher Portal
Choreo Connect as a Standalone Gateway	By Updating the OpenAPI Definition

Via WSO2 API Manager Publisher Portal¶

Select the API from the Publisher Portal.
Click Resources listed under API Configurations in the left menu to navigate to the Resources page in the Publisher.
Expand any method and switch the security slidebar off to disable security for that specific resource.

By updating the OpenAPI definition¶

APIs can be exposed without requiring any authentication (i.e. disable transport security and application security) using the OpenAPI extension x-wso2-disable-security . This extension is supported at API, resource, and operation levels. The following is an example of how you can disable security for an API.

API Level

openapi: 3.0.0

  version: 1.0.0
  title: Petstore
x-wso2-disable-security: true
  paths:
    "/pet/findByStatus":

Resource Level

 "/pet/findByStatus":
    x-wso2-disable-security: true
    get:
      tags:
      - pet
      summary: Finds Pets by status
      description: Multiple status values can be provided with comma separated strings
      operationId: findPetsByStatus

Operation Level

 "/pet/findByStatus":
    get:
      x-wso2-disable-security: true
      tags:

      summary: Finds Pets by status
      description: Multiple status values can be provided with comma separated strings
