RFE Review. As part of our policy for regularly reassessing aged RFEs we have recently discussed this enhancement request again. After our last update in February last year, there have not been any further demonstrations of community support for this idea. It is also noted that users have the option of always providing an alias for every flow they deploy, or alternatively deploying flows with different certificate requirements into separate containers; so there are other ways to achieve the desired end goal with this topic. Unfortunately on this occasion we do not intend to carry the suggestion further forward.
RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been held in Uncommitted Candidate status. Although open for over 6 years now, there has not been much community support for this idea. We are still open to enhancing this area - though it would be unlikely we would provide a default certificate given that the product does not automatically enforce the use of keystore/truststore in an effort to make the out of the box experience as straight forward as possible (although obviously in production circumstances, configuration of all security aspects of the product are to be encouraged). More likely, we could configure flows to require a certificate key alias to be set if the user opted in to a new configuration default (as opposed to using the first certificate found). We will continue to monitor the RFE for popularity; status is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thanks for raising this requirement. The idea of a default certificate sounds reasonable, and we will investigate this as part of our next set of security enhancements.
