Properly document SEAS

There are many screens in SEAS UI that are not documented at all or fully.

SEAS Validating ISAM Token

Currently SEAS has the ability to integrate with IBM product ISAM ( IBM security access manager ) and authenticate the userid and password provided by SSP. In this case SEAS generates SSO Token after successful authentication. Customer requirement...

Develop SEAS to intelligently query for IPs that come from a subnet and allow them in if that subnet is in an LDAP attribute

Why useful? Useful because these days a lot of trading partners are coming from cloud environments that aren't front-ended by one (or a handful) IP address. Who benefits? Anyone who desires to whitelist IPs as a means of authentication or just as ...

Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) Support

Many enterprises have Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) as their standard. It would be ideal to add support for OEL OS, so customers can deploy the product without any if and buts we have today in our support statement. https://www.ibm.com/support/kno...

SFG/SI users changing password with SEAS

There is presently no way to for a myfilegateway user to change their password if Sterling External Authenticator is used. Which seems odd because SFG can talk to SEA and validate an SSO token. There needs to be a feature to allow users to change ...

Add REST API for the RUN TIME information

REST API for the RUN TIME details (Connect, Validate, Invalidate, Generate, etc.,) will be helpful and simplify the integration with other systems.

Email alerts for SEAS errors

Currently errors within SEAS cannot be detected without logging into the server and manually checking the SEAS logs. LDAP related failures (for example loss of connectivity to LDAP or expired password for the login we bind to LDAP with) are an exa...

Add "Session ID" for SEAS authentication attempts

In a high-traffic system it can be difficult to determine which log entries in the seas logs are related to a given authentication attempt. Currently we're forced to grep / search for the specific username /timeframe and then manually parse throug...
