​Akamai API Security (AKA NONAME) plugin

This plugin pushes request/response data to Akamai API Security, formerly known as "NONAME" API Security. It can also pull data from Akamai API Security to actively block traffic based on the blocklist rules provided by Akamai API Security; known as "Protection".

​Setup

To get started, you'll need to configure the Zuplo Integration in Akamai API Security. Once this step is completed you'll have a 'key' to allow us to connect to Akamai API Security on your behalf.

In Zuplo you configure the plugin in the Runtime Extensions file zuplo.runtime.ts, as follows:

modules/zuplo.runtime.ts
import { environment, AkamaiApiSecurityPlugin, RuntimeExtensions, ZuploContext, ZuploRequest } from "@zuplo/runtime";


export function runtimeInit(runtime: RuntimeExtensions) {
  runtime.addPlugin(
    new AkamaiApiSecurityPlugin({
      hostname: "your-akamai-api-security-hostname.com",
      // index, provided by Akamai API Security
      index: 1,
      // Key provided by Akamai API Security
      key: environment.AKAMAI_API_SECURITY_KEY,
      // Enable the active prevention/protection feature
      enableProtection: true
    }),
  );
}
ts

It is recommended to store your key in an Environment Variable shown in the example above AKAMAI_API_SECURITY_KEY. If you want the active protection feature enabled, set enableProtection to true.

The plugin also supports an optional shouldLog parameter which is a function that returns true or false and, if false, stops the request/response from logging to Akamai API Security.

runtime.addPlugin(
    new AkamaiApiSecurityPlugin({
      hostname: "your-akamai-api-security-hostname.com",
      // index, provided by Akamai API Security
      index: 1,
      // Key provided by Akamai API Security
      key: environment.AKAMAI_API_SECURITY_KEY,
      // Enable the active prevention/protection feature
      enableProtection: true,
      // optional filter function to exclude requests
      shouldLog: async (request: ZuploRequest, context: ZuploContext) => {
        if (request.headers.get("content-type") !== "application/json") {
          return false;
        }

        return true;
      },
    }),
  );
