We have just released Ceptor 6.2 with even deeper integration with Elasticsearch.

Using Ceptor you can now create any custom Elasticsearch query you wish, and Ceptor will parse the results and use it to display charts within either a Dashboard inside Ceptor Console, or generated PDF reports.

If Elasticsearch is chosen as data storage for API Usage Data within Ceptor API Management, data for these API calls, such as top callers, response time percentiles etc. is automatically shown when viewing APIs.

Also, we have added a new OAuth 2.0 Token task to our Pipelines and Task functionality which allows you to retrieve and use OAuth 2.0 Tokens from 3. parties just by dragging in a Task instead of write complex scripts to achieve this functionality.

Other enhancements include:

• Automatic Elasticsearch index creation
• Improved RetrieveURL Task
• Update of the embedded Groovy to 2.5.5, which is used for scripting

Existing customers can learn more at Ceptor Docs.

We have just released a new version of Ceptor, which is enriched with the following features:

• IP Range support – Specify any number of IP ranges in the Ceptor Gateway Configuration, and use these ranges in Conditions to match Locations if a remote IP address is (or isn’t) in a particular IP Range
• IP Reputation Database support – Load IP Ranges from online IP Reputation databases, and take action. These actions could be:
  • Lower service level for known bad IPs
  • Trigger additional authentication
  • Block requests from known attackers, spammers, fraudsters etc.
• Use IP Ranges in Authorization for both Locations within the Ceptor Gateway, and within individual APIs in Ceptor API Gateway
• Renegotiate SSL at will – Require SSL client certificate if a certain path is requested, if a particular header is in the request, or if the client IP is in a certain range
• Read/write access to individual API Groups can now be restricted, so only certain API administrators get read or write access to them, and all APIs and API versions are defined within an API Group.

The post More Features in Ceptor appeared first on Ceptor.

We are proud to announce the release of Ceptor 6.0, which includes the new Ceptor API Management.

Ceptor API Management is a full-featured API Management solution, which allows you to define and edit your APIs and administer API Partners and Partner Applications.

Partners and Developers can use Ceptor API Developer Portal, where they can sign-up and create/manage their own applications. Within the Ceptor API Developer Portal, you can browse the APIs you expose, subscribe to them and try them out.

You can deploy Ceptor Gateway with Ceptor API Gateway functionality, meaning it exposes and secures your configured APIs with the authentication and authorization flexibility already know from Ceptor.

Using the Ceptor Console, you can create and edit your APIs, and you can expose them as OpenAPI Specification v2 or v3.

You have full control!
