Multiple kdb file support in IBM App Connect Enterprise

Currently, an ACE Integration Runtime is constrained to a single global CMS Key Repository (.kdb / .sth) for IBM MQ client TLS connections (configured via mqKeyRepository in server.conf.yaml, node.conf.yaml, or MQCLNTCF/mqclient.ini).

 

While a single KDB file can technically store multiple certificates, this single-repository constraint creates major operational, governance, and security challenges in enterprise environments where multiple message flows connect to disparate Queue Managers owned by different teams, lines of business (LOBs), or external third parties with uncoordinated certificate lifecycles.

 

We request that IBM ACE support multiple independent CMS Key Repositories (.kdb) per Integration Runtime, configurable on a per-connection basis (e.g., via MQEndpoint policies or MQ node properties), alongside support in the App Connect Operator to mount multiple keystore configurations cleanly.
