Creating an Endpoint Manually

An endpoint is a mapped location of a public host name/request path and the origin host server/endpoint path. In other words, it can be both the URI that is accessed by developers and the URI used by the Traffic Manager to send API calls to. Each endpoint contains a unique combination of request and endpoint paths, protocols, rules, accessible methods, and other settings that differentiate one endpoint from the other within an API.

The following table describes the fields on the Endpoint Create: New Endpoint Definition page.

FieldDescription
Name for your Endpoint

Require Enhanced Security

:::note

- This field is not displayed if enabled while creating the endpoint. In other words, this field cannot be edited after the endpoint is created.

- After enabling the this field, the transport protocol field is modified to https for both the internal and external URIs (see Customize your Public Endpoint Address and Your Endpoint Address fields). These fields cannot be changed to HTTP or other protocols.
