Option to disable Connect Direct Web Services web page

Current version of Connect Direct Web Services software provides two interfaces - RESTful API and webpage GUI access. Software should allow to disable web GUI access.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

For automated systems, where RESTful API are utilized, the GUI access is not required at all. From the security standpoint, there should be an option to disable this unnecessary access method.

    Thanks you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it with my team and we agree that it would be useful to be able to restrict C:D Web Services so that it only supports REST API calls. I will accept this request and we'll look to add it to the roadmap moving forward.


    Sincerely,
