General availability: Azure API Management updates - May 2021

Published date: May 13, 2021

We started a regular Azure API Management service update on May 5, 2021. It includes the following new features, bug fixes, and other improvements.

New Features:

  • You can now validate the client certificate with the new <validate-client-certificate> policy. Documentation and support in the Azure portal are coming soon.
  • The Visual Studio Code extension now supports policy debugging for self-hosted gateways running locally.
  • The Visual Studio Code extension now supports Dapr and validation policies.
  • The developer portal now supports resource owner password grant flow.
  • The new Ciphers + Protocols page in the Azure portal lets you manage API gateways' cipher and protocol configuration and displays a warning if a weak cipher or protocol is enabled.
  • The Locations page in the Azure portal lets you now configure Availability Zones.
  • You can now apply validation policies with the visual policy editors in the Azure portal, without writing any policy code.
  • The timeout attribute of the send-request policy now supports policy expressions.

Details on all these new features, bug fixes, and other changes can be found here on Github.
