Pinned ideas

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...

Add support for AES-256 encryption algorithm for data at rest in Global Mailobx

B2Bi already supports AES-256 encryption for data at rest, so global mailbox should offer the same level of encryption.

Code lists that can be conditional.

It would be good if you could have code lists that are conditional so that these can be updated easily without being a full-blown configuration change. We have different plants that use specific MRP Types and Lot Sizing Procedures. The list of val...

Allow customization of LDAP ping "dummy" user

It is possible to configure a periodic "heartbeat" that checks the connection to External Auth, and it is also possible to have it attempt an LDAP bind (via the ea.ping.profile setting). However, when it does this LDAP bind, it uses a fake user ("...

Protect SFG for event flood caused by large volume GET requests of very small fiels

When the File Gateway is hit by a very high amount of GET requests to download small files will cause an event flood. As these events are tracked in the visibility db, this may cause the system to "hang" - all threads blocked - as the visibility d...

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...

Provide "replace/override" capabilities when using the CDConfig Tool for Map.cfg and Usr.cfg import

Currently the Connect:Direct CDConfig tool does NOT support the "replace/override" functionality when importing Netmap or User entries. It currently will update existing Initparms, but for some reason it doesn't update existing Netmap or User entr...

Add the ability to configure multiple IP addresses in a NETMAP config instead of just one.

This is useful as clients can change their servers or flip to DR when there is an issue and we have to update the same netmap config or have a CLP do it. Allowing this would be like MQ where we can have multiple IP's in a connection string. Many C...

Enhance SWIFTNet7ClientResend business process to update previously failed filegateway deliveries

Currently SWIFTNet7ClientResend will be triggered via the SWIFT Adapter Scheduler to look at the SWNET_MSG table for failed PUT transfers to SWIFT. Upon detection of these types of failure the scheduler will trigger an execution of the SWIFTNet7Cl...
