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...

Improve case sensitivity in OMS search functions

Searching for a name in the OMS requires a perfect match with capitalization. I would like this to be improved so that the OMS also brings up names that are not perfect matches. For instance, if I search Jake Brewer, but the customer input jake br...
