Idea / RFE Review. It is our strong suspicion that the behaviour described has moved forward over the long time period since this suggestion was initially raised. Current capabilities of the product (
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/11.0.0?topic=sftp-known-host-checking) in this functional area allow you to configure whether or not strict known host checking is turned on, and then when the integration server attempts a connection it will check the host key against the contents of the known hosts file and if the key is not there the connection will fail. You can have multiple known hosts files and specify a different one for each policy. The known hosts files that you provide for strict known host checking are not modified by the integration server. Given the current product situation we are closing this idea but if we have somehow misunderstood the requirement or you feel something further is missing then please feel free to open a new idea making clear where you feel more attention is needed.
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. If I understand correctly, this requirement is to allow the user to turn off checking of the known_hosts file in the scenario where the broker is running in a highly available environment. File and (S)FTP support is very important for us, and we are planning on a set of features around the file-based nodes for a follow-on release, and will look at this feature as part of this work. Once the engineering is done we will evaluate the feasibility of a back-port to earlier versions.
Team, what state has the evaluation of this requirement?
