Ability for an application (with associated ClientID/Secret) to be known across 2 API Connect Clouds

We currently have an external facing API Connect Cloud and an internal facing API Connect Cloud implementation. The former handles the security for the Channel APIs and the latter provides throttling and protection to the back-end system. For the case where we have an application requesting for access to a Channel API which is advertised through the external facing implementation and which results in API requests being routed through the internal API Connect implementtaion, we require the ability for the application details (incl. CliendID and Secret) to be known to each. Currently this requires one external facing API subscription and a secondary internal API subscription, with the former being presented to the external application and the latter requiring logic to be built on the external API Gateway to populate the internal API request with a different ClientID/Secret combination. With this, it becomes harder to have end-to-end traceability of the originating ClientID (unless this is mapped to a different header) and correlate the data together via the API analytics. We require the same ClientID/Secret to be leveraged across both implementations without having to provide a different ClientId/Secret combination to call the internal API.

    Hi, This can be achieved by using the APIC product APIs to set the client id and secret.

    Thanks.
