    Hi Chris, I would like to update the Large User Group(LUG) with the current status of this one.  Is it now a committed candidate and on the roadmap?

    Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM.  I have reviewed it with my team and we believe that your request to add support for RSA ciphers is reasonable  We will accept this enhancement request as an uncommitted candidate and will look to place this item on the roadmap moving forward.


    Sincerely,

    Chris Sanders
