About this Course

This course teaches you the fundamental skills that are required to configure, implement, and troubleshoot REST, JSON, and OAuth services that are developed on the WebSphere DataPower Gateway Appliances with firmware version 7.0.x.

The WebSphere DataPower Gateway Appliances allow an enterprise to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the security capabilities of its Extensible Markup Language (XML) and web services deployments, and extend the capabilities of its service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure. The appliances also extend these capabilities into the REST and JSON application areas.

Through a combination of instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises, you learn how to implement the key use cases for the DataPower appliances. These include mobile and REST support and integrating with OAuth 2.0.
