New features and enhancements

Following are the new features and enhancements in this release.

Server Name Indication (SNI) support

Edge supports the use of Server Name Indication southbound (from message processor to target endpoints). If you want to use SNI, contact Apigee Support.

Java 1.7 is required.

With SNI, which is an extension of TLS/SSL, multiple HTTPS targets can be served off the same IP address and port without requiring all those targets to use the same certificate.

No Edge-specific configuration is required. If your environment is configured for southbound SNI (Edge cloud is by default), Edge supports it.

Edge automatically extracts the hostname from the request URL and adds it to the SSL handshake request. For example, if the target host is https://example.com/request/path, then Edge adds the server_name extension as shown below:

For more information on SNI, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication.

Apigee Community access from management UI Help menu

You can access the Apigee Community from the management UI Help menu.

Access Control policy

The Access Control policy has been enhanced to allow finer-grained evaluation of IP addresses for allowlisting and denylisting when IP addresses are contained in the X-FORWARDED-FOR HTTP header.

With multiple IP address checking enabled on the header (contact Support to set the feature.enableMultipleXForwardCheckForACL), a new <ValidateBasedOn> element in the policy lets you check against the first IP, the last IP, or all IPs in the header. For more information, see Access Control policy.

Management UI error messages

Error message display in the management UI has been redesigned.

New target variables in message flow

New variables in message flows provide more complete URL information for target endpoints and target servers:

  • TargetEndpoint: request.url replaces target.basepath.with.query.
  • TargetServer: loadbalancing.targetserver replaces targetserver.name. Also, target.basepath is populated only when the <Path> element is used in the TargetEndpoint's HTTPTargetConnection <LoadBalancer> element.

"Signature Algorithm" in the SSL Certificates details

A new "Signature Algorithm" field has been added to SSL certificate details, viewable in the management UI (Admin > SSL Certificates) and the management API (Get Cert Details from a Keystore or Truststore). The field shows either "sha1WithRSAEncryption" or "sha256WithRSAEncryption", depending on the type of hashing algorithm used to generate the certificate.
