The security team will allow OIDC to be used for Portal access.
Which two OIDC provider types are available out of the box?
In IBM API Connect v10.0.3, OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a widely used authentication mechanism that allows clients to verify the identity of users based on the authentication performed by an authorization server. API Connect supports various OIDC providers for portal access to integrate with third-party identity providers. Out of the box, API Connect v10.0.3 comes with support for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and IBM Cloud as pre-configured OIDC providers.
Azure AD is one of the most commonly used OIDC providers, especially in enterprise environments using Microsoft's cloud services.
IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) also provides built-in OIDC support within the IBM ecosystem, making it a natural integration point for users of IBM Cloud services.
These built-in integrations simplify the configuration and management of OIDC providers without requiring additional custom configuration.
A developer would like to run the step debugger on the Gatewayscript policy that is part of the Assembly.
What would allow step debugging on the Gatewayscript?
To enable step debugging on a GatewayScript policy in IBM API Connect v10.0.3, a developer must add a debugger; statement within the GatewayScript code. This statement serves as a breakpoint that will pause execution, allowing the developer to step through the code to identify and resolve issues.
Other options are incorrect:
Option B and D ('Enable step debug in the Test tab' and 'Enable debug checkbox in Assemble') do not enable the step debugger in GatewayScript.
Option C ('Click the Trace in the Test tab') allows tracing but not step debugging.

How can a Consumer see their API usage?
In IBM API Connect v10.0.3, consumers can see their API usage on their application page within the Developer Portal. This page provides details about the number of requests made by their application to different APIs, allowing consumers to monitor their API consumption directly. This feature helps consumers track their usage metrics without needing to keep track themselves or request reports from the API provider.
Other options are incorrect:
Option A: The calling application does not need to track API usage manually.
Option C: Consumers are not typically given access to the API Manager analytics directly.
Option D: API providers do not need to generate a separate report; usage details are automatically available to consumers.

How are Gateway extensions packaged to upload to the Gateways?
Packaging Format: Gateway extensions in IBM API Connect v10.0.3 are packaged as .zip files. This format is used to bundle all necessary files and configurations required for the extension.
Upload Process: These .zip files are then uploaded to the Gateway through the API Manager interface. The API Manager handles the deployment and integration of these extensions into the Gateway.

Which HA concept applies for OAuth operations in a multi-node Kubernetes cluster?
High Availability (HA) Concept: In a multi-node Kubernetes cluster, the concept of ''Quorum'' is crucial for ensuring high availability and consistency, especially for operations like OAuth.
Quorum Definition: Quorum refers to the minimum number of nodes that must agree on a transaction or operation to ensure consistency and avoid split-brain scenarios. This is particularly important in distributed systems to maintain data integrity and availability.
OAuth Operations: For OAuth operations, maintaining a quorum ensures that the authentication and authorization processes are reliable and consistent across the cluster. This helps in preventing issues where different nodes might have conflicting states.
