Fronting with APIConnect will not help . We already have API Connect in our solutions. The issue is having to code a business process every time just to validate the permissions for their mailbox. Simplest solution would be to provide full fledged rest api adpater similar to sftp.
Do you think APIC can support large files ? upto 2GB like Sterling Rest adapter ?
After further evaulation we are partnering with IBM API Connect offering to provide a front end to B2Bi. While B2Bi's RestAPIs do offer a Mailbox upload option. Suggestion would be to partner with an API gateway, like API Connect to host the service and authentication (much like SSP does for protocol). API Connect will then hand off to B2Bi's HTTP Server Adapter to kick off appropriate business process. Happy to discuss in further detail.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Your request is now a candidate for a future generally available (GA) release.
We will be in touch with you shortly to discuss your willingness to serve as a sponsor user as we work to deliver this feature. If you have any additional feedback or thoughts in the meantime, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

Enabling the existing RestAPI to respect permissions might be the fast track. Would be especially useful with the mailbox (message) API to respect partner user permissions on its mailboxes and have specific permissions for the read, create, update, delete, extract, ... message APIs.
