AccessControl policy

This section describes the fault codes and error messages that are returned and fault variables that are set by Edge when this policy triggers an error. This information is important to know if you are developing fault rules to handle faults. To learn more, see What you need to know about policy errors and Handling faults.

Runtime errors

These errors can occur when the policy executes.

Fault code HTTP status Cause Fix
accesscontrol.IPDeniedAccess 403 The client IP address, or an IP address passed in the API request, matches an IP address specified in the <SourceAddress> element within the <MatchRule> element of the Access Control Policy, and the action attribute of the <MatchRule> element is set to DENY.

Fault variables

These variables are set when a runtime error occurs. For more information, see Variables specific to policy errors.

Variables Where Example
fault.name="fault_name" fault_name is the name of the fault, as listed in the Runtime errors table above. The fault name is the last part of the fault code. fault.name Matches "IPDeniedAccess"
acl.policy_name.failed policy_name is the user-specified name of the policy that threw the fault. acl.AC-AllowAccess.failed = true

Example fault response

{
   "fault":{
     "faultstring":"Access Denied for client ip : 52.211.243.3"
      "detail":{
         "errorcode":"accesscontrol.IPDeniedAccess"
      }
   }
}

Example fault rule

<FaultRule name="IPDeniedAccess">
    <Step>
        <Name>AM-IPDeniedAccess</Name>
        <Condition>(fault.name Matches "IPDeniedAccess") </Condition>
    </Step>
    <Condition>(acl.failed = true) </Condition>
</FaultRule>

AccessEntity policy

For related information, see What you need to know about policy errors and Handling faults.

Runtime errors

None.

Deployment errors

Error name Fault string HTTP status Occurs when
InvalidEntityType Invalid type [entity_type] in ACCESSENTITYStepDefinition [policy_name] N/A The entity type used must be one of the supported types.

AssignMessage policy

This section describes the fault codes and error messages that are returned and fault variables that are set by Edge when this policy triggers an error. This information is important to know if you are developing fault rules to handle faults. To learn more, see What you need to know about policy errors and Handling faults.

Runtime errors

These errors can occur when the policy executes.

Fault code HTTP status Cause Fix
steps.assignmessage.SetVariableFailed 500 The policy was not able to set a variable. See the fault string for the name of the unresolved variable.
steps.assignmessage.VariableOfNonMsgType 500

This error occurs if the source attribute in the <Copy> element is set to a variable which is not of type message.

Message type variables represent entire HTTP requests and responses. The built-in Edge flow variables request, response, and message are of type message. To learn more about message variables, see the Variables reference.

steps.assignmessage.UnresolvedVariable 500

This error occurs if a variable specified in the Assign Message policy is either:

  • out of scope (not available in the specific flow where the policy is being executed)
  • or
  • can't be resolved (is not defined)

Deployment errors

These errors can occur when you deploy a proxy containing this policy.

Error name Cause Fix
InvalidIndex If the index specified in the <Copy> and/or <Remove> elements of the Assign Message policy is 0 or a negative number, then deployment of the API Proxy fails.
InvalidVariableName If the child element <Name> is empty or not specified in the <AssignVariable> element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails because there is no valid variable name to which to assign a value. A valid variable name is required.
InvalidPayload A payload specified in the policy is invalid.

Fault variables

These variables are set when this policy triggers an error at runtime. For more information, see What you need to know about policy errors.

Variables Where Example
fault.name="fault_name" fault_name is the name of the fault, as listed in the Runtime errors table above. The fault name is the last part of the fault code. fault.name Matches "UnresolvedVariable"
assignmessage.policy_name.failed policy_name is the user-specified name of the policy that threw the fault. assignmessage.AM-SetResponse.failed = true

Example error response

{  
   "fault":{  
      "detail":{  
         "errorcode":"steps.assignmessage.VariableOfNonMsgType"
      },
      "faultstring":"AssignMessage[AM-SetResponse]: value of variable is not of type Message"
   }
}

ExtractVariables policy

This section describes the fault codes and error messages that are returned and fault variables that are set by Edge when this policy triggers an error. This information is important to know if you are developing fault rules to handle faults. To learn more, see What you need to know about policy errors and Handling faults.

Runtime errors

These errors can occur when the policy executes.

Fault code HTTP status Cause Fix
steps.extractvariables.ExecutionFailed 500

This error occurs when:

  • The input payload (JSON, XML) is empty.
  • The input (JSON, XML, etc) passed to the policy is invalid or malformed.
steps.extractvariables.ImmutableVariable 500 A variable used in the policy is immutable. The policy was unable to set this variable.
steps.extractvariables.InvalidJSONPath 500 This error occurs if an invalid JSON path is used in the JSONPath element of the policy. For example, if a JSON payload does not have the object Name, but you specify Name as the path in the policy, then this error occurs.
steps.extractvariables.JsonPathParsingFailure 500 This error occurs when the policy is unable to parse a JSON path and extract data from the flow variable specified in Source element. Typically this happens if the flow variable specified in the Source element does not exist in the current flow.
steps.extractvariables.SetVariableFailed 500 This error occurs if the policy could not set the value to a variable. The error generally happens if you try to assign values to multiple variables whose names start with the same words in a nested dot-separated format.
steps.extractvariables.SourceMessageNotAvailable 500 This error occurs if the message variable specified in the Source element of the policy is either:
  • Out of scope (not available in the specific flow where the policy is being executed) or
  • Can't be resolved (is not defined)
steps.extractvariables.UnableToCast 500 This error occurs if the policy was unable to cast the extracted value to a variable. Typically this happens if you attempt to set the value of one data type to a variable of another data type.

Deployment errors

These errors can occur when you deploy a proxy containing this policy.

Error name Cause Fix
NothingToExtract If the policy does not have any of the elements URIPath, QueryParam, Header, FormParam, XMLPayload, or JSONPayload, the deployment of the API Proxy fails, because there's nothing to extract.
NONEmptyPrefixMappedToEmptyURI This error occurs if the policy has a prefix defined in the Namespace element under the XMLPayload element, but no URI is defined.
DuplicatePrefix This error occurs if the policy has the same prefix defined more than once in the Namespace element under the XMLPayload element.
NoXPathsToEvaluate If the policy does not have the XPath element within the XMLPayload element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails with this error.
EmptyXPathExpression If the policy has an empty XPath expression within the XMLPayload element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
NoJSONPathsToEvaluate If the policy does not have the JSONPath element within the JSONPayload element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails with this error.
EmptyJSONPathExpression If the policy has an empty XPath expression within the XMLPayload element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
MissingName If the policy does not have the name attribute in any of the policy elements like QueryParam, Header, FormParam or Variable, where it is required, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
PatternWithoutVariable If the policy does not have a variable specified within the Pattern element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The Pattern element requires the name of the variable in which extracted data will be stored.
CannotBeConvertedToNodeset If the policy has an XPath expression where the Variable type is defined as nodeset, but the expression cannot be converted to nodeset, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
JSONPathCompilationFailed The policy could not compile a specified JSON Path.
InstantiationFailed The policy could not be instantiated.
XPathCompilationFailed If the prefix or the value used in the XPath element is not part of any of the declared namespaces in the policy, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
InvalidPattern If the Pattern element definition is invalid in any of the elements like URIPath, QueryParam, Header, FormParam, XMLPayload or JSONPayload within the policy, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.

Fault variables

These variables are set when this policy triggers an error at runtime. For more information, see What you need to know about policy errors.

Variables Where Example
fault.name="fault_name" fault_name is the name of the fault, as listed in the Runtime errors table above. The fault name is the last part of the fault code. fault.name = "SourceMessageNotAvailable"
extractvariables.policy_name.failed policy_name is the user-specified name of the policy that threw the fault. extractvariables.EV-ParseJsonResponse.failed = true

ValidateToken
InvalidateToken

steps.oauth.v2.InsufficientScope 403 The access token presented in the request has a scope that does not match the scope specified in the verify access token policy. To learn about scope, see Working with OAuth2 scopes. VerifyAccessToken
steps.oauth.v2.invalid_access_token 401 The access token sent from the client is invalid. VerifyAccessToken
steps.oauth.v2.invalid_client 401

This error name is returned when the <GenerateResponse> property of the policy is set to true and the client ID sent in the request is invalid. Check to be sure you are using the correct client key and secret values for the Developer App associated with your proxy. Typically, these values are sent as a Base64 encoded Basic Authorization header.

Note: It is recommended that you change existing fault rule conditions to catch both the invalid_client and InvalidClientIdentifier names. See the 16.09.21 Release Notes for more information and an example.

GenerateAccessToken
RefreshAccessToken
steps.oauth.v2.invalid_request 400 This error name is used for multiple different kinds of errors, typically for missing or incorrect parameters sent in the request. If <GenerateResponse> is set to false, use fault variables (described below) to retrieve details about the error, such as the fault name and cause. GenerateAccessToken

steps.oauth.v2.ApiProductMatchFound
401

The API proxy is not in the Product associated with the access token.

Tips: Be sure that the product associated with the access token is configured correctly. For example, if you use wildcards in resource paths, be sure the wildcards are being used correctly. See Create API products for details.

See also this Apigee Community post for more guidance on causes for this error.

VerifyAccessToken
steps.oauth.v2.InvalidClientIdentifier 500

This error name is returned when the <GenerateResponse> property of the policy is set to false and the client ID sent in the request is invalid. Check to be sure you are using the correct client key and secret values for the Developer App associated with your proxy. Typically, these values are sent as a Base64 encoded Basic Authorization header.

Note: In this situation, this error used to be called invalid_client. It is recommended that you change existing fault rule conditions to catch both the invalid_client and InvalidClientIdentifier names. See the 16.09.21 Release Notes for more information and an example.

GenerateAccessToken
RefreshAccessToken

steps.oauth.v2.InvalidParameter 500 The policy must specify either an access token or an authorization code, but not both. GenerateAuthorizationCode
GenerateAccessTokenImplicitGrant
steps.oauth.v2.InvalidTokenType 500 The <Tokens>/<Token> element requires you to specify the token type (for example, refreshtoken). If the client passes the wrong type, this error is thrown. ValidateToken
InvalidateToken

Fault code HTTP status Cause Fix
policies.ratelimit.FailedToResolveQuotaIntervalReference 500 Occurs if the <Interval> element is not defined within the Quota policy. This element is mandatory and used to specify the interval of time applicable to the quota. The time interval can be minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months as defined with the <TimeUnit> element.
policies.ratelimit.FailedToResolveQuotaIntervalTimeUnitReference 500 Occurs if the <TimeUnit> element is not defined within the Quota policy. This element is mandatory and used to specify the unit of time applicable to the quota. The time interval can be in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.
policies.ratelimit.InvalidMessageWeight 500 Occurs if the value of the <MessageWeight> element specified through a flow variable is invalid (a non-integer value).
policies.ratelimit.QuotaViolation 500 The quota limit was exceeded. N/A

Deployment errors

Error name Cause Fix
InvalidQuotaInterval If the quota interval specified in the <Interval> element is not an integer, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. For example, if the quota interval specified is 0.1 in the <Interval> element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
InvalidQuotaTimeUnit If the time unit specified in the <TimeUnit> element is unsupported, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The supported time units are minute, hour, day, week, and month.
InvalidQuotaType If the type of the quota specified by the type attribute in the <Quota> element is invalid, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The supported quota types are default, calendar, flexi, and rollingwindow.
InvalidStartTime If the format of the time specified in the <StartTime> element is invalid, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The valid format is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, which is the ISO 8601 date and time format. For example, if the time specified in the <StartTime> element is 7-16-2017 12:00:00 then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
StartTimeNotSupported If the <StartTime> element is specified whose quota type is not calendar type, then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The <StartTime> element is supported only for the calendar quota type. For example, if the type attribute is set to flexi or rolling window in the <Quota> element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
InvalidTimeUnitForDistributedQuota If the <Distributed> element is set to true and the <TimeUnit> element is set to second then the deployment of the API proxy fails. The timeunit second is invalid for a distributed quota.
InvalidSynchronizeIntervalForAsyncConfiguration If the value specified for the <SyncIntervalInSeconds> element within the <AsynchronousConfiguration> element in a Quota policy is less than zero, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.
InvalidAsynchronizeConfigurationForSynchronousQuota If the value of the <AsynchronousConfiguration> element is set to true in a Quota policy, which also has asynchronous configuration defined using the <AsynchronousConfiguration> element, then the deployment of the API proxy fails.

keymanagement.service.CompanyStatusNotActive 401 The Company associated with the Developer App that has the API key you are using has an inactive status. When a Company's status is set to inactive, you cannot access the developers or apps associated with that Company. An org admin can change a Company's status using the management API. See Set the Status of a Company.
keymanagement.service.DeveloperStatusNotActive 401

The developer who created the Developer App that has the API key you are using has an inactive status. When an App Developer's status is set to inactive, any Developer Apps created by that developer are deactivated. An admin user with appropriate permissions (such as Organization Administrator) can change a developer's status in the following ways:

keymanagement.service.invalid_client-app_not_approved 401 The Developer App associated with the API key is revoked. A revoked app cannot access any API products and cannot invoke any API managed by Apigee Edge. An org admin can change the status of a Developer App using the management API. See Approve or Revoke Developer App.
oauth.v2.FailedToResolveAPIKey 401 The policy expects to find the API key in a variable that is specified in the policy's <APIKey> element. This error arises when the expected variable does not exist (it cannot be resolved).
oauth.v2.InvalidApiKey 401 An API key was received by Edge, but it is invalid. When Edge looks up the key in its database, it must exactly match the on that was sent in the request. If the API worked previously, make sure the key was not regenerated. If the key was regenerated, you will see this error if you try to use the old key. For details, see Register apps and manage API keys.
oauth.v2.InvalidApiKeyForGivenResource 401 An API key was received by Edge, and it is valid; however, it does not match an approved key in the Developer App associated with your API proxy through a Product.

Deployment errors

These errors can occur when you deploy a proxy containing this policy.

Error name Cause
SpecifyValueOrRefApiKey The <APIKey> element does not have a value or key specified.

Fault variables

These variables are set when a runtime error occurs. For more information, see What you need to know about policy errors.

Variables Where Example
fault.name="fault_name" fault_name is the name of the fault, as listed in the Runtime errors table above. The fault name is the last part of the fault code. fault.name Matches "FailedToResolveAPIKey"
oauthV2.policy_name.failed policy_name is the user-specified name of the policy that threw the fault. oauthV2.VK-VerifyAPIKey.failed = true

Example error responses

{  
   "fault":{  
      "faultstring":"Invalid ApiKey",
      "detail":{  
         "errorcode":"oauth.v2.InvalidApiKey"
      }
   }
}

XMLThreatProtection policy

This section describes the fault codes and error messages that are returned and fault variables that are set by Edge when this policy triggers an error. This information is important to know if you are developing fault rules to handle faults. To learn more, see What you need to know about policy errors and Handling faults.

Runtime errors

These errors can occur when the policy executes.

Fault code HTTP status Cause Fix
steps.xmlthreatprotection.ExecutionFailed 500 The XMLThreatProtection policy can throw many different types of ExecutionFailed errors. Most of these errors occur when a specific threshold set in the policy is exceeded. These types of errors include: element name length, child count, node depth, attribute count, attribute name length, and many others. You can see the complete list in the XMLThreatProtection policy runtime error troubleshooting topic.
steps.xmlthreatprotection.InvalidXMLPayload 500 This error occurs if the input message payload specified by the XMLThreatProtection policy's <Source> element is not a valid XML Document.
steps.xmlthreatprotection.SourceUnavailable 500 This error occurs if the message variable specified in the <Source> element is either:
  • Out of scope (not available in the specific flow where the policy is being executed)
  • Is not one of the valid values request, response, or message
steps.xmlthreatprotection.NonMessageVariable 500 This error occurs if the <Source> element is set to a variable which is not of type message.

Notes:

  • The error name ExecutionFailed is the default error name and will be returned regardless of the type of error detected; however, this default can be changed by setting an organization-level property. When this property is set, the error name will reflect the actual error. For example, "TextExceeded" or "AttrValueExceeded". See Usage Notes for details.
  • The 500 HTTP status is the default; however, the HTTP Status can be changed to 400 for request flow faults by setting an organization-level property. See Usage Notes for details.

Deployment errors
