custom security header injection into all gateway-generated responses, including protocol-level errors, unmatched routes, or other pre-assembly error responses

Why is it useful? Currently, custom headers added in the API assembly (GatewayScript, Set Variable, XSLT, etc.) are only applied when the request reaches the assembly. Many responses are generated before the assembly executes, such as: 404 Route N...

Runtime Access to Backend TLS Certificate/Public Key and Support for Standalone Public Keys in IBM DataPower

Currently, IBM DataPower validates the backend server certificate during the TLS handshake using a TLS Client Profile and Validation Credentials. However, there is no supported way to access the backend TLS certificate or its public key from Gatew...

Support Connection Pooling to Backend Application Servers in MultiProtocolGateway, WSProxy Services, XMLFirewall Services, etc.

I know connection pooling exists for ldap, but it would be nice for us to be able to configure connection pooling for other backends tied to WSProxy and MPG services. Allowing us to configure connection pooling at the DataPower layer will help us ...

Add ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) support for client-side / outbound TLS connections

Description: What is the idea? Add support for the ALPN TLS extension (RFC 7301) on client-side (outbound) TLS connections initiated by the firmware, so that the appliance can negotiate the application protocol (e.g., HTTP/2 "h2", HTTP/1.1 "http/1...

Make TLS setting configurable for TLS SNI Sever Profile

TLS Server profile config options like ciphers, signature algorithms, curves, and KEMs should be configurable for TLS SNI Server profiles as well, or should be inherited from linked TLS Server profile. If not, no one with the need of SNI profiles,...

Add support for mounting a K8s secret into the Datapower container to be used within Invoke policy or Gateway Script via DP PasswordMap

Today it is not possible to link an K8s secret to a containerized Datapower to e.g. use this secret in an API Connect Invoke policy or use the values of the secret within Gateway Script to e.g. authenticate to a backend e.g. via Basic Auth or usin...

Allow multiple separate SSH server profile objects to allow more flexibility for SFTP Server Handlers

Currently each domain has 1 SSH server profile for all objects in that domain. When having multiple SFTP Server Handlers with different keys this means that the SSH Server Profile config needs to be generic and wide enough to encompass all SFTP Se...

Support custom/ldap authorisation for OIDC RBM

RBM with ODIC only supports AZ with a AAA Mapping file. Having to manage a file on the device containing username to role mappings is cumbersome and not feasible for clients with large server fleets. Ideally, we should be able to run a custom auth...
