PINNED Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA
As with standard Linux servers today Secure Proxy should be able to present Host Keys (more than one) in both RSA and ECDSA formats depending on what type the vendor incoming connection supports. Vendors are demanding Host Keys that are stronger t...

PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs
During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...

    Improve MS SQL Support in B2BI

    Investigate better B2BI support of MS SQL Server. A few places to look might be: Review the data types used to store data since there may be better ones. Especially investigate using data types that allow online rebuilds. Additional indexes....

    B2BI DB Tuning tool

    We often see performance issues in B2BI caused by improper DB configuration. This can result in purge issues, data being left behind, improper polling intervals on CCM queries, etc. The problem is there isn't a one size fits all configuration. Thi...

    Provide Capacity Availability Events from SIP Capacity Service similar to Product Availability Events in IV

    BOPIS orders can only be taken if Capacity is available for the store. This is an important piece of information for the Order Capture Systems to determine if Order can be captured for the store or not. Without this information, It requires a call...

    HTTP file uploads destined for myfilegateway but routed to ICAP in SSP, must follow the same "filename" processing as other protocols like SFTP.

    We route SFTP, CD, and HTTP files to ICAP in SSP before forwarding them on to SFG. For SFTP and CD, the AV server scans the file, and if it's not scanned for whatever reason (e.g. size limit), it's sent to SFG with an .unscanned filename extension...

    PGP Keys in the HSM

    PGP private keys are critical cryptographic assets ensuring data confidentiality and non-repudiation for file transfer operations. Storing them outside an HSM means they may exist as plaintext or software-protected keys on disk, increasing the ris...

    SFTP Private Keys Stored in the HSM

    Private keys are critical cryptographic assets protecting inbound/outbound file transfers. Storing them outside an HSM means they may exist as plaintext or software-protected keys on disk, increasing the risk of key theft, impersonation, and unaut...

    Data Encryption Keys should be storable in an HSM

    This would be for utilizing IBM SFG with document storage on NFS or Disk.  This would not apply to Database stored documents.  The advantage would be PCI compliance and greater security.  It would reduce the risk that gaining the DE...
