Integration

Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive a notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

If you encounter any issues accessing the Ideas portal, please send email describing the issue to ideasibm@us.ibm.com for resolution. For more information about IBM's Ideas program visit ibm.com/ideas.

Using custom apic-ingress-ca certificates for API Manager GUI

We are running API Connect EUS version on CP4I EUS version on Openshift 4.6.21 on Azure cloud.

As part of our internal security requirements, we wish to replace the default cert-manager generated API Manager GUI (https://apic-mgmt-api-manager-apic.cpi.qa.ocp.tine.no/manager/) certificate "apic-ingress-ca" with a custom certificate which is signed by our internal PKI system. The certificate we wish to use already has a CN=*.cpi.qa.ocp.tine.no which is set on Openshift ingress, in other words, when a user is logging in to API Manager, they shouldn't have to trust multiple certificates in order to be allowed in, not to mention the security risk of using a self-signed IBM generated/cert manager generated certificate in the value chain.

We need this feature/functionality on our EUS/long term release of CP4I in case this fixed in a future version of API Connect.


Example steps for using a custom certificate for common services management ingress endpoint for reference: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGT7J_20.4/cert-manager/3.x.x/cert_mgmt_ingress.html#rep_cs360

    If you use something like an NFS storage class or rook to provide an RWX storage class it will work on Azure just fine.

    We also now have pre-release instructions for how to work around the need for RWX on any cluster, which I've passed on. This information will be added to the documentation when we're happy that we have sufficiently tested it.

    Do you know if the RWX for zen is successfully tested by IBM to work on Openshift on Azure cloud?

    Hi Abu, we are working on reducing the dependency of RWX but there isn't an ETA date at the moment - we'll update this idea when we have one.

    That should meet the requirement. However, in order to deploy zen, we are waiting for the IBM team to remove the dependency on the zen storage of type RWX (file) as we had huge challenges deploying it on Azure (Azure-files provides RWX). We were told that they may move to using a block storage (RWO) soon, is there an ETA on this?

    Hi Abu,

    We're reviewing this idea and we believe that this is now available in the "Zen" releases of the cloud pak (June 2021 onwards) - this will also be available in the next EUS/LTS release of the pak.


    Could you confirm if this meets your requirements or if there is anything else needed by your idea?
