Empowering OEMs with White-Labeled Autonomous REST Composer

The Challenge

The Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST Connector makes it easy to connect to REST APIs using ODBC or JDBC without writing custom code. At the heart of this capability is the Autonomous REST Composer, a powerful UI tool that helps users quickly create REST configuration files, or .REST files. These define how the Connector interacts with REST endpoints, enabling seamless connectivity to APIs.

Traditionally, the Composer has been a standalone tool. Users launch it, configure REST endpoints and download .REST files to connect to their applications. This approach works well for individual developers, but for OEMs building integrated solutions, it creates friction. OEMs need more flexibility to deliver a seamless experience for their customers and want the ability to embed and brand the Autonomous REST Composer within their own applications, creating a unified, customized interface without compromising functionality.

The Breakthrough

With our latest release, we’ve unlocked that capability. OEMs can now white label and embed the Autonomous REST Composer directly into their applications—whether on-premises or in the cloud. This isn’t just a cosmetic change; it’s a completely new integration experience.

Imagine your customers configuring REST endpoints, downloading .REST files and debugging API issues—all within your branded UI. No switching tools, no extra steps—just a smooth, native experience.

The Power of Customization

Here’s what makes this feature transformative:

• Brand It Your Way : Add your logo, colors and styles to match your application perfectly.
• Control the Experience : Hide or modify links, adjust CSS and enable or disable models based on your needs.
• Deploy Anywhere : Host the Composer as a servlet using Apache Tomcat, Docker or any standard container, with Web Application Archive (WAR packaging for easy integration.
• Secure and Scalable : Built-in SSL configuration and diagnostics support stability and security for SaaS deployments.

Why It Matters

This capability turns the Composer from standalone to a fully embeddable component of your platform. It empowers OEMs to deliver a seamless, branded experience that accelerates adoption and enhances customer satisfaction. For Progress, it means enabling our partners to unlock the full potential of the Autonomous REST Connector.
