# API Services Portal Release 1.2.6

The API Services Portal has been updated with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

# New Features

Shared IdP:
- This feature allows API Providers to leverage the SSO Gold-tier Keycloak cluster to manage Client Credentials without having to deal directly with the cluster. The APS team has a custom realm on this Keycloak cluster called apigw, which is administered by the API Services Portal. To use it, follow these steps.
Private Routing:
- This feature allows API Providers to make private API endpoints, which can have security benefits. Learn more here.
New Plugins
- Waiting Queue: Support Waiting Queue solutions, such as https://github.com/bcgov/WaitingQueue.
- Kong Upstream Auth Basic: Kong Plugin to add HTTP Basic Authentication to the upstream request header.
Edit an application
- API Consumers can now edit their existing applications in the portal.
