Requesting that an enhancement be created to allow SevOne NMS to interface for user token card authentication on IBM Tivoli WebSphere Application Server using Single-Sign-On

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I work for the US Air Force and we need to be able to use our token cards to authenticate from IBM Tivoli JazzSM/DASH to SevOne NMS and SevOne Data Insights.

Currently the NMS only supports Okta/Azure SSO/SAML providers. I am not seeing support for LTPA2 token authentication.   If we the Air Force cannot use token card authentication, then I am not sure if we can keep using SevOne.

    Definitely needed in the Federal market.

    Clients require the ability to control access to their key systems.  The fact that they are asking for this implies that SevOne is a critical component for observability in the DoD and hopefully for the IC moving forward.

    SmartCard/CAC/Certificate-based Authentication are absolutely necessary for US Federal Government adoption.

    I support and request that feature is added for our clients.

    If you want to sell this into the DOD or IC  we need to support CAC !!!  if not, good luck!

    Not only DoD clients but also the IC....we've always had to dance around this one as our answer seems to be "custom" or "services".....could use at least a template approach

    It is imperative that any product sold to Federal clients supports their requirements, in this case CAC - I would also push for CAC support across the board for all IBM products!

    This is something a lot of DoD clients will benefit from & in some cases even a must.
