TLS support in CA Spectrum (CORBA) probe

TLS 1.2/1.3 protocol to be used between CA Spectrum and the CORBA probe.

We requires all data to be encrypted in-transit for the connection probe-to-datasource connection (Spectrum connection).

This data encryption in-transit is required by banking industry regulations and client security standards. Spectrum v21.2.x CORBA provides higher security than previous versions, specifically TLS 1.3 (2015 standard), which is the latest improvement over SSL 3.0.

    I am the developer for this enhancement work for the CA Spectrum probe. The plan is to enhance the probe to connect to the DX NetOps Spectrum using secure connections ie. TLSv1.3, 1.2.

    Per discussion with management, the probe is to developed and tested using the customer's DX NetOps Spectrum server. I believe Madelyn and her team is driving the effort for this. Can you please provide an update on this?

    Please confirm whether IBM will provide TLS support or not. If IBM refuses to adopt a market-standard secure method of communication, we will have no choice but to abandon Netcool in favour of another competitor's solution.

    This request has been pending for a few months and we are getting a lot of attention from top management now.(and has been tracked here as well https://automation-management.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IRISCART-I-576 )
