• procedure_async indicates whether the stored procedure is executed in asynchronous mode.
• dataapi_return_type indicates the return format of a data backend.

backend_client_certificate

Whether to enable two-way authentication for a backend. After this function is enabled, you can configure the two-way authentication for a backend when configuring the backend information during API creation.

ssl_ciphers

HTTPS cipher suite that can be configured. You can select the cipher suites as required.

apiclient_first_use_x_hw_id

Whether to preferentially use the X-HW-ID field to verify the ApiClient class of the custom backend.

real_ip_from_xff

Whether to use the IP addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header as the criterion for access control and request throttling.

xff_index: Sequence number of an IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header. The value can be positive, negative, or 0.

• If the value is 0 or positive, obtain the IP address of the corresponding index in the X-Forwarded-For header.
• If the value is negative, obtain the IP address of the indicated reverse sequence in the X-Forwarded-For header.

For example, assume that the X-Forwarded-For header of a request received by API gateway contains three IP addresses: IP1, IP2, and IP3. If the value of xff_index is 0, IP1 is obtained. If the value is 1, IP2 is obtained. If the value is –1, IP3 is obtained. If the value is –2, IP2 is obtained.

custom_log

Whether to enable custom logs. After the custom log function is enabled, the specified location (header, query, and cookie) and parameter values are printed in the calling logs of all APIs in the ROMA Connect instance.

After this function is enabled, click Add to add the parameters to be printed in the calling logs.

real_ip_header_getter

header_getter: Whether to obtain source IP addresses from custom headers for access control and request throttling policies to take effect.

vpc_name_modifiable

Whether to allow load balance channel name modification. When this function is enabled, you can modify the name of load balance channels. However, the VPC Channel Management - Project-Level API cannot be called currently.

default_group_host_trustlist

Whether to allow access to APIs in the default group from the IP addresses that are not inbound access addresses of the current instance. When this function is enabled, IP addresses can be added to access APIs in the default group.

• Default Group API Access from Custom IP Addresses: whether APIs in the default group can be accessed from custom IP addresses.
• IP Addresses: custom IP addresses to access the APIs in the default group. Separate multiple IP addresses with semicolons (;).

data_api_column_types_converted_to_string

Whether to allow data backends to support converting data column types to String. When this function is enabled, a selected data column type can be converted to String.

• Configure Data Column Types: whether to allow data backend column types to be converted to String.
• Types: data column types to be converted to String (only NVARCHAR2 is supported currently).

kafka_log_plugin_options

Size of the request body and response body that can be pushed by the Kafka log push plug-in.

• request_body_size: maximum request body size
• response_body_size: maximum response body size

sse_strategy

Whether to enable Server-Sent Events (SSE) transmission. It is disabled by default. Once enabled, the responses of backend APIs are output in streaming mode for character-based rendering.

request_custom_config

Configure client request parameters.

• HTTP/2: Enabled by default.
• request_body_timeout: Timeout for client request body. Default: 8s. Modify this parameter if the network condition is poor or the request body is too large.

gzip

Whether to compress responses using gzip to reduce public network traffic. By default, responses are not compressed. The configuration will take effect in 1 minute.

After enabling this parameter, set the compression level parameter comp_level. The greater the value is, the better responses are compressed. Default: 6.

custom_auth_header

Whether to support custom authentication headers. By default, custom authentication headers are not supported. If you enable this parameter, the initial values of app_auth_header and backend_sign_header are empty, same as when the parameter is disabled.

If you set the Current Value of app_auth_header, the parameter with the same name as this value carries the app authentication information in the request header for APIs that use app authentication. If you set the Current Value of backend_sign_header, the parameter with the same name as this value carries the signature information in the backend request header for APIs bound with an HMAC or Basic Auth signature key policy.

api_uri_no_escape

Whether to escape the path in the API URL. This option is disabled by default, indicating that the path in the URL is escaped.

For details about the function of not escaping paths after api_uri_no_escape is enabled, see Table 3.

op_trusted_ips

This parameter is available only if Authentication Mode is set to IAM.

Specify the source IP addresses that are allowed to call your API. By default, op_trusted_ips of a new instance denies access from all source IP addresses. You need to add the source IP address segment to op_trusted_ips on the Configuration Parameters tab page.
