OpenAPIExtensions​

Available OpenAPI extensions to configure APi Gateway features in Service Bridge.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

x-tsb-service

string
Short name of the service in the TSB service registry where the path is exposed. If the extension is configured in the info section, all paths in the spec will be mapped to this service.

This service name will be used to generate all the routes for traffic coming to the associated paths.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-service<br/> Applies to: info, path<br/> Required: Required unless x-tsb-redirect or x-tsb-clusters is defined for the target paths.

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Sample API
  version: 0.1.9
  x-tsb-service: productpage.bookinfo
paths:
  /users:
    x-tsb-service: productpage.bookinfo
    get:
      summary: Returns a list of users.

–

x-tsb-redirect

tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.Redirect
Configures a redirection for the given path. If a redirection is configured for a given path, the x-tsb-service extension can be omitted.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-redirect<br/> Applies to: path<br/> Required: false

Example:

paths:
  /users:
    x-tsb-redirect:
      uri: /v2/users
    get:
      summary: Returns a list of users.

–

x-tsb-tls

tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.ServerTLSSettings
Configures the TLS settings for a given server. If omitted, the server will be configured to serve plain text connections.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-redirect<br/> Applies to: server<br/> Required: false

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
servers:
  - url: http://api.example.com/v1
    x-tsb-tls:
      mode: SIMPLE
      secretName: api-certs

–

x-tsb-cors

tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.CorsPolicy
Configures CORS policy settings for the given server. Note that Service Bridge does not currently support per-path CORS settings, so this applies at a server level.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-cors<br/> Applies to: server<br/> Required: false

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
servers:
  - url: http://api.example.com/v1
    x-tsb-cors:
      allowOrigin:
        - "*"

–

x-tsb-authentication

tetrateio.api.tsb.auth.v2.Authentication

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-authentication<br/> Applies to: server<br/> Required: Required if Authorization is based on JWT tokens.

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
servers:
  - url: http://api.example.com/v1

      jwt:
        issuer: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs
        audience: bookinfo

–

x-tsb-external-authorization

tetrateio.api.tsb.application.v2.OpenAPIExternalAuthzBackend
Configures an external authorization server to handle all authorization requests for the configured server. This extension can be applied also at path level in order to disable the external authorization for a specific path via the disabled field.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-external-authorization<br/> Applies to: server, path<br/> Required: false

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
servers:
  - url: http://api.example.com/v1

–

x-tsb-jwt-authorization

tetrateio.api.tsb.application.v2.OpenAPIExtensions.JWTAuthz
Configures Authorization based on JWT tokens.

Note that if this is configured, the x-tsb-authentication extension must be configured for the servers so the tokens can be properly validated and trusted before reading their contents to enforce access control rules.

This can be applied at the server or path level. When applied at the server level, the authorization rules will be enforced for all paths in that server.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-jwt-authorization<br/> Applies to: server, path<br/> Required: false

x-tsb-transit

bool
If this flag is activated (set to true), only the specified path(s) for a given server will be accessible exclusively within the mesh network. This implies that any external traffic aiming to reach these paths would be blocked, promoting network isolation and enhanced security.

This setting plays a crucial role in traffic forwarding across two different clusters that may not have a direct connection to each other. It facilitates communication through the mesh network, creating an indirect link between them. Thus, even if a direct route does not exist, information exchange can still take place.

If this extension is applied under the server of the 'info' section, it affects all paths listed in the 'spec' for that particular server. Consequently, these paths become exclusive to the mesh network, restricting their accessibility from outside the network.

However, if this extension is applied to a single server listed in the path section, its impact is more specific. It only affects that particular path mentioned in the 'spec' for that server. In turn, this single path is made exclusive to the mesh network, shielding it from external access. This granular level of control can be beneficial in cases where only a specific path needs to be isolated, while others remain accessible.

In both cases, this helps in controlling and managing traffic flow, especially in large distributed systems where security and traffic management are critical. This granular control allows for a flexible, security-focused approach to managing network traffic within the mesh network.

OpenAPI extension name: x-tsb-transit<br/> Applies to: server<br/> Required: false

Example:

openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Sample Internal API
  version: 0.1.9
  servers:
   - url: http://api.example.com/v1
     x-tsb-transit: false
paths:
  /users:
    get:
      summary: Returns a list of users that can be accessed from outside.
  /internalusers:
    servers:
     - url: http://internal.api.example.com/v1
       x-tsb-transit: true
    get:
      summary: Returns a list of internal users only accessible within the mesh.

OpenAPIExternalAuthzBackend​

Use an authorization server running at the specified URI. Support both HTTP and gRPC server. It is recommended to enable TLS validation (SIMPLE or MUTUAL) to secure traffic between workload and external authorization server If you use gRPC, do not set includeRequestHeaders OpenAPIExternalAuthzBackend extends the fields provided by ExternalAuthzBackend by adding the disabled field. The x-tsb-external-authorization annotation can be applied at:

  • The root level servers configuration

  • The path level servers configuration

  • Directly at the path level. In this case, only the disabled field can be set. If you want to change other fields from the external authorization, you must define a new alternative server for this path item with your desired external authorization configurations. An empty x-tsb-external-authorization block implies disabled: false

OpenAPIWasmExtensionAttachment​

OpenAPIWasmExtensionAttachment defines the WASM extension attached in an OpenAPI specification including the name to identify the extension and also the specific configuration that will override the global extension configuration.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

REQUIRED
Name of the extension to be executed. The Organization will be inferred by the API Org owner.

string = {
  min_len: 1
}

config

google.protobuf.Struct
Configuration parameters sent to the WASM plugin execution. This configuration will overwrite the one specified globally in the extension. This config will be passed as-is to the extension. It is up to the extension to deserialize the config and use it.
