    Hi Muthu :

    we have documentation talking about policy customizations and so on.
    All OAuth Toolkit features are implemented using policies in the Policy Manager, making it possible to customize the entire OAuth process.
    please see here :
    Customizing the oauth toolkit

    or here :  OAuth - customizing policies

    let me know if this helps

    thanks
    Gustavo

    Gustavo Azolas, 

    Thanks for your response.  Well, my question was on the documentation for building our own solution kit and not on customizing OTK.  Basically I built few tools that can help to manage/maintain APIGW, I would like to package the same as a solution kit similar to Oauth Solution Kit, I would like to understand the process for building a custom solution kit so it can be distributed to other environment as a Solution kit.

    Appreciate if you can send across any documentation on building a custom solution kit.

    THanks
    Muthu

    Hi Muthu,

      I thought I had replied to this last week, but I guess I only imagined hitting the submit button :). Solution kits must be signed before the Gateway will accept them, and Broadcom has the only key that it will recognize, so this is not possible. I requested this capability years ago, but there has been no movement on it that I am aware. You will need to resort to writing configurable policy and exporting/importing as a bundle via Restman/GMU.

    Cheers!
