SIA Config API v1 to v3 Migration Guide

🚧

Secure Internet Access Configuration API v1 Decommission Notice

Version 1 of the SIA Configuration API was decommissioned on May 5, 2023.
Access to v1 will be terminated on September 8, 2023.
This migration guide is intended to ease the transition to v3 API.

Migration workflow

Review your existing code base used to access the v1 API and note any necessary changes. The two versions largely use the same URIs and parameter namespaces, with a few exceptions, noted below.

Key differences

All of the v1 functionality is available in v3, plus v3 offers a much broader range of capabilities than v1.
NOTE: The Emergency Lists operations are no longer available in v3 - these operations are now supported using the List operations for Policies.
In the case of many GET and POST operations, the v3 response body structure has changed and the response provides more actionable detail.
Refer to the tables below for:

  • v1 operations which have changed in v3
  • new operations added in v3

Configurations

Many of the features documented under Configurations in v1 were moved to the Policies, Deployments, Custom Responses, Security Connectors, or Sites configurations in v3. The response body contents of each have changed accordingly.

Certificates

In v3, certificates are assigned to proxy configurations within a policy, thus the customerId path parameter has been replaced by configId. Use the path parameter configId to access the existing customerId resources in all certificate operations. You may need to create proxy configurations within existing policies before proceeding.

What's new in v3 API

  • Policies - Many of the features documented under Configurations in v1 are now under Policies in v3, such as Security Categories, Responses and Lists.
  • Configurations - New functionality has been added, including contract onboarding, custom error pages and acknowledgements.

The following features provide expanded functionality in v3:

  • Security Connectors - Previously known as Sinkholes. Forwards suspicious or malicious traffic to identify machines that are infected with malware, attempt to download malware, or make requests to command and control servers.
  • Sites and Locations - Allows for more granular policy definition and application.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Dictionaries - Defines the information types to be monitored for potential data leaks.
  • Client Configurations - Grants control over client installations on a targeted or organizational level.
  • Notifications - Automates communication regarding traffic and access activity.
  • Tenant and Delegated Access - Provides ease of management for customers acting as security providers.
  • Connection Credentials - Controls access to proxy servers

Refer to the v3 API Reference for complete details on these new capabilities.
