WSO2 Governance Registry Lifecycle transition inputs

WSO2 Governance Registry (WSO2 G-Reg) is a fully open source product for governing SOA deployments, which provides many extension points to ensure your business policies. With G-Reg 5.0.0 release, we have introduced revolutionary UIs for enterprise asset management and discovery. 

The Lifecycle of an asset is one of the critical requirements of enterprise asset management and Lifecycle management is focused on various state changes in a given artifact through different phases. If you want to read more about this, please go through my article on "Governance Framework Extension Points."

So here I am going to talk about, one of the feature enhancements which we added for G-Reg 5.3.0. With G-Reg 5.3.0, we have introduced lifecycle transition input for G-Reg publisher. With lifecycle transition inputs, you will be able to parse custom inputs from a user who is doing lifecycle operation. 

As an example, you have integrated wso2 governance registry with API Management product using lifecycle executor. So when lifecycle transition happens  G-Reg executor will create an API in an external API management product. So instead of defining APIM username password in the lifecycle configuration, using lifecycle transition inputs, you can popup an UI to provide credentials. These inputs can be directly accessed via lifecycle executor class. 


Use of Lifecycle Inputs:

<data name="transitionInput">
        <inputs forEvent="Promote">
              <input name="url" label="URL" tooltip="URL of APIM server"/>
              <input name="userName" label="User Name" tooltip="User Name"/>
             <input name="availability" label="Availability" tooltip="Availability Type"/>
        </inputs>                           
 </data>

Integrate With Mutual Certificate Authentication based Service

There are many ways to secure a Service/API using different Authentication mechanisms. Mutual Certificate authentication(AKA: Client Certificate Authentication) is one of the ways to secure Service or API. Recently I was trying to integrate with an API which is secured using Mutual Certificate Authentication. In this scenario, the backend service team gave me their certificate-based on PKCS#12. When integrating this backend system with WSO2 Platform, we have to use 'Multi-HTTPS transport'. With this 'Multi-HTTPS transport', it will grant great flexibility to define different SSL profiles with separate trust stores and key stores for different IPs or hosts. This custom SSL profile can be implemented for Client to Synapse Runtime(Client --> ESB) or Synapse Runtime to Backend(ESB --> Backend). If it is Client to ESB, then you have to define custom SSL Profiles in the transportReceiver section. In my use-case, it was for ESB to Backend. So I had to add custom SSL prof
