API Portal 4.2 : Integrating Portal with external CMS

[Suhas M V]

Hi,

I am trying to implement API Documentation with API Portal 4.2. Assume I will have to integrate portal with external CMS to achieve this.

Please let me know If there is any alternate options.
Also is there any reference document on integrating API Developer Portal 4.2 with an external Content Management System (Such as Drupal).
​

Hi Suhas,

   In portal 4.1 there was some degree of documentation on integrating your own CMS with Portal (Drupal). The link is still available at:

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-api-management/api-developer-portal/4-1/set-up-and-maintenance/integrate-a-content-management-system.html

  Unfortunately in 4.2 onwards this topic was removed from the documentation (but there is still information saying you can use your CMS in case of On-Premise deploys - BYOCMS)

  This previous documentation relies on customers having CA Single Sign-On  and a proprietary "Portal Drupal module", that may not have being actively updated by CA/Broadcom.

  I would like as well to hear from Broadcom staff about BYOCMS details in Portal 4.2/4.3/4.4.

Regards,

Marlos Chida

According to https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/blogs/oakbi01/2019/11/27/introducing-the-next-generation-of-layer7-api-mana CMS may be available in next portal release Q1 2020...

Let's see. Another long awaited feature that can close gap with portal v3
