    The edit API page allows you to set properties of an API JSON file. These are the same properties that you configure when you define an API JSON in API Security Enforcer (ASE). For more information on defining an API JSON, see Defining an API using API JSON configuration file in inline mode.

    You can also reset the edited changes by clicking on the Reset to default discovery configure button on the top-right corner. This resets the API properties to the one that was set during the Configure API discovery step. The edit API page is divided into three tabs:

    • Profile

      Screen capture of PingIntelligence profile.
      Screen capture of PingIntelligence JWT and Username Header options.

      The Profile tab also provides option to extract the username from either a JSON Web Token (JWT) token or a custom header. On the dashboard you can select eitherJWT or Username Header to configure API JSON, but not both. For more information, see Defining an API using API JSON configuration file in sideband mode.
