Creating an Endpoint Manually

An endpoint is a mapped location of a public host name/request path and the origin host server/endpoint path. In other words, it can be both the URI that is accessed by developers and the URI used by the Traffic Manager to send API calls to. Each endpoint contains a unique combination of request and endpoint paths, protocols, rules, accessible methods, and other settings that differentiate one endpoint from the other within an API.
Note: To create an endpoint using TIBCO Cloud Mesh, see Creating an Endpoing using TIBCO Cloud Mesh.


The following table describes the fields on the Endpoint Create: New Endpoint Definition page.

Field Description
Your Public Endpoint Domain Public domain name that developer application or widget uses to make an API call. It can be defined in the Customize your Public Endpoint Address field.
Your Public Traffic Manager Domain

The TIBCO Mashery internal host name (domain name) to which the requested public domain name is CNAMED.

The Traffic Manager domain name can be modified by clicking the Edit link in the top ribbon. However, you must consult TIBCO Mashery before modifying the TIBCO Mashery internal domain name.



Your Endpoint Domain The URI path of the host server that the Traffic Manager uses to send an API call. The Traffic Manager performs call logging, and applies the configured rules before sending an API call.
Name for your Endpoint The endpoint name which is reflected wherever this endpoint is mentioned.
Require Enhanced Security

Allows you to define whether an SSL certificate is required for the endpoint. If enabled, all calls made to this endpoint are required to be made using SSL. Consult TIBCO Mashery Support to enable this setting if not visible on the page. Note that this field cannot be disabled once enabled.

Note: After the Require Enhanced Security field is enabled, the transport protocol field is modified to https for both the internal and external URIs as shown in the following image. These fields cannot be changed to http or other protocols.


Customize your Public Endpoint Address Allows you to define the public domain name and path for the endpoint. This path is used by developers when they make calls to this endpoint by using curl or other applications.
Note: To create endpoints, you must set up root domains. To add a domain, click the here link.
