Configure the default error response to prioritise authorisation ahead of available resources

Today, if a consumer tries to call an API or endpoint that does not exist, they get a 404 response returned. This could be an attack vector by malicious users who want to find which endpoints are available.

We would like to see a configuration or option that allows 401s to be returned instead of 404s in order to reduce security vectors.

Preferred behaviour:

1. supplying invalid Application credentials, to an API that doesn't exist = 401 (instead of 404)

2. supplying valid Application credentials, to an API that doesn't exist = 404

    Thanks - this makes perfect sense to us as a viable solution option. This IDEA is raised to see if there's a future possibility to have the desired behaviour baked-in to the product; either as the default behaviour, or a selectable behaviour exposed without the need for an additional Global policy.

    Some Customers, wish to avoid any gateway customisation / additional points of maintenance.

    Default behavior can be changed and we have documented an example here, please updating the idea if this is not a solution to the request: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7137309?myns=swgother&mynp=OCSSMNED&mync=F&cm_sp=swgother-_-OCSSMNED-_-F

    This is being reviewed - but we are looking for more business justification. It is not required to have Application Credentials for API Connect, though it is highly recommended.
