First steps with CA API Gateway New Restman interface

The new version of the CA API Gateway, formerly known as CA Layer 7 Gateway or SecureSpan Gateway, brought a new Management Interface. The new Restman Interface is a REST-API with Comprehensive online API documentation.

To install or activate the API do the following :

  •  Select [Tasks] > Publish Internal Service from the main menu 

The Publish Internal Service Wizard appears.



  • Choose Gateway REST Management Service from the drop-down list as the service to publish.
  • Optionally, change the Routing URI if necessary. Note: The routing URI must always end with “/*”.


  •  Click [Finish] to publish the internal service. This creates a new service in the root folder named “Gateway REST Management Service”. The REST API is now installed.
