How to connect to Apigee
Updated
On this page you will learn how to connect your Apigee Gateway to Boomi's API Control Plane. Boomi supports several options for authentication: using a service account key file, keyless Workload Identity Federation (WIF), and keyless Google Cloud Platform-hosted (application default credentials).
Prerequisites
To proceed, you will need the following:
-
A running instance of Boomi's API Control Plane.
-
Access to the instance of your Apigee Gateway.
-
Docker to utilize the image of our agent, which acts as an intermediary.
Choosing an authentication method
When configuring your Apigee gateway in API Control Plane, you will choose one of three authentication methods. Select any option for process steps.
| Method | Use When |
|---|---|
| Service account key file | You want the simplest setup and are comfortable managing a downloaded service-account key file. Works from any deployment location. |
| Keyless — GCP hosted (Application Default Credentials) | Your agent runs on Google Cloud compute (Compute Engine, GKE). No credential file to manage. |
| Keyless — Workload Identity Federation | Your agent runs outside Google Cloud (another cloud, or on-prem) and you want to avoid a static, secret key file. |
