After you have designed your API, it can be deployed as an additional web application to a different server or location. Deploying your API allows you to expose only the necessary resources of your API to your production server that is hosting the API, or you may choose to host the deployed API across the web while keeping the API Server behind a firewall.

APIs can be published to the following formats:

• ASP.NET
• JSP

Authentication and Logging

You can configure the deployed APIs to use the same user authentication and logging database as the CData API Server. This allows you to easily manage users and view logs via the CData API Server administrative dashboard.

The supported databases for user authentication and logging are:

• MySQL
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• SQL Server
• SQLite
