Portal and the Gateway
Portal allows publishing of APIs managed by the Gateway
Policy Templates and Custom Fields are Portal features that allow additional input into these APIs– Portal users define the what– Gateway admins define how input used at API runtime

What Did We Do?
Created an Policy Template/Encapsulated Assertion
Exposed it to the Portal
Created an API that used it and an Application to consume it
Added a API Custom Field for additional control
Added an Application Custom Field for differentiated control
