Configuring the API Adapter

The API Adapter must be configured using the Oracle Data Relationship Management Configuration Console. When you configure a Data Relationship Management application, you set up API Adapter Hosts on the Host Machines tab. For more information, see Configuring Host Computers.

Note:

The API Adapter is used for internal communication with the Web Service and should not be used directly by custom API programs.

Before you begin, review the following points:

  • The DRM API Adapter now supports HTTPS/TLS only. Unsecured HTTP access is no longer supported.

  • Endpoint URL: https://<host>:<api-adapter-port>/oracle/drm/apiadapter

  • You must configure a valid server certificate for the API Adapter host before starting the API Adapter.

  • The server certificate must be installed and available to the Windows machine and the Windows account running the API Adapter service.

  • Client machines must trust the complete certificate chain presented by the API Adapter server.

  • Existing API Adapter clients and integrations must update all endpoint references from http:// to https://.

  • API Adapter authentication behavior remains unchanged. Only the transport protocol has changed.

  • Client certificates are not required unless separately configure mutual TLS (mTLS) outside of DRM.

  • Plain HTTP access to the API Adapter is no longer supported.

  • Configuring the DRM API Adapter is no longer required solely for registering DRM with EPM.
