This is an IBM Automation portal for Cloud Management and AIOps products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
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:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, it makes much more sense now.
The two current options for the short-term would be:
- use an IdP that can accept multiple different auth sources (like DexIdP https://dexidp.io )
- use our public APIs to remove and configure a new (alternate) IdP in case the primary is down through a script, as API tokens don't rely on the IdP
Meanwhile we're assessing what it would take on our backend to support this and prioritize based on that.
Can you give an example how multiple IdPs are used in any product today?
The purpose of federated authentication is entirely outsourcing the trust to the IdP, which is also why password logins are disabled, since it could lead to conflicts in allowing or denying login access to someone.
Since the purpose of using the tool is to monitor the IdP service itself, I would suggest using an alternative login method entirely.
