1.4 Accessing the Publisher and the Store

The Publisher is where you create, manage, and publish the APIs. The Store is where you subscribe to the published APIs so that you can use the APIs in your applications, services, or items.

The Publisher and the Store are available through the Access Manager user portal. There are two new appmarks on the user portal that allow you to access the Publisher and the Store. The name of the appmarks are:

  • Publisher: APIs: Create/Publisher

  • Store: APIs: Subscribe

Your administrator or IT department should provide the URL for you to access the user portal. By default, the URL for the user portal is:

https://NAM-Base-URL:8443/nidp/portal

Your administrator or IT department should also ensure that you have the proper permissions for you to access these appmarks. By default, no one has the permissions assigned to access the appmarks. The administrator must assign the correct permissions for you to access the Publisher and the Store.
