Certificate authentication #164

Open

Hello IBM,

According to this article, it would be possible to authenticate to the API using client certificates.

Could this be taken up into the code? Would be a massive leap forward..

Kind regards,

Client side certificates are supported. So it can be implemented. My thoughts around this:

Hoping to get the ability to cache connections between each call so you dont have to specify userid/password or certificate for each task. Need to check if Ansible supports this yet.
You may want to consider putting ISAM in front of the LMIs - gives you more options to authenticate a user into appliance than just certificates.
