IBM DataPower Development - Basics

Set up the IBM DataPower gateway in Docker by pulling the icr.io image, creating a container with volume mappings and port bindings, and enabling the web mgmt interface.

Install and run IBM DataPower in a docker container, map ports, mount config and data volumes, and enable the web management console to manage DataPower services.

Navigate the DataPower file management system and folder structure, including private keys, certs, exports, images, lock files, and audit logs. Learn to upload and access files via the web UI.

Master command-line access to a DataPower container, opening logs, inspecting the file structure and mounted host directories, and using port mappings to run and test services with container commands.

Explore how the xml firewall proxies banking services and enforces request and response policies. Learn to secure traffic with authentication, authorization, data validation, gateway script, xslt, signatures, and encryption.

Create a loopback xml firewall service to simulate a remote server. Configure a policy, apply it, and test that the service returns the same request with a 200 response.

Create an XML firewall service with a loopback mock backend, using XSLT to convert customer requests to bank format and route to a static backend.

Use the command line in the container to test dynamic and static services, hitting mock card and net banking backends on ports 2049 and 2051 with varying requests.

Build an xml firewall service that accepts json messages by configuring a firewall, defining matching rules and processing policies, and testing with a sample json payload.

Learn how to build an XSL transformation using a for-each loop to extract customer IDs and payment types from a shopping cart structure, creating a prime customer list.

Apply a url rewrite policy at the service level to proxy internal requests, transform responses, and validate client-visible results through testing and policy configuration.

Create a secure service that accepts communications from the DePillis protocol, generate RSA keys and a certificate, configure a multi protocol gateway with SSL, and apply policies.

Learn how to implement encryption and decryption in IBM DataPower by generating keys and certificates, configuring a processing policy, and testing plaintext and encrypted data flows.

Sign a message with a private key, attach the digital signature, and verify it with the sender's public key to ensure authenticity and detect tampering.

Implement authentication, authorization, and auditing in a DataPower gateway by configuring an xml firewall service, adding a Tripoli policy with username/password authentication, and validating requests via a replayed example.

Create an error rule to handle exceptions by validating incoming messages against the schema, applying xslt transformations, and returning user-friendly error responses when validation fails within the policy workflow.
