[0118] According to the API documentation of the AI large language model, set the correct request URL, request header, request body, etc. on the security gateway.
[0119] Configure API authentication methods, such as keys and OAuth, to ensure that communication between the security gateway and the AI model is secure.
[0120] Key management: If the API interface uses key authentication, these keys need to be set up and managed on the security gateway.

[0130] Interface docking: Based on the results of demand analysis, the API interface of the security gateway is docked with the API interface of the AI large language model.
[0131] Test the correctness and stability of interface docking to ensure that data can flow smoothly between them.
[0132] Data transmission: Configure the relevant parameters of data transmission, such as transmission protocol, port number, data format, etc.
[0133] If encrypted transmission is required, the corresponding encryption algorithm and key must be configured.
