Currently if a customer want to install a CA signed certificate in the PowerVC, the inclusion of Node/Cluster IPs are mandatory as per PowerVC documentation and development advise. The customer cyber security policies prevents the use of IP Addresses in a CA signed certifiate. The request of enhancement is to allow PowerVC to be installed and operated with a CA signed certificate with FQDN of the noes and Cluster FQDN.

My customer Cyber policies will not allow IP addresses in a CA signed certificate. Hence the request to enhance. Also, more customers with similar cyber security policies will benefit from this.

A way to have AIX point to a "VIP" so that each LPAR can follow the trusted LDAP certificate chain instead of having to update the cert on each LPAR every year.

The team who is responsible for attaining the new certs can place them in a location that AIX can then point to. It's a better process by eliminating potential points of failure (human error) to have 1 person update the certificates in 1 location ...

Export LPEX Outline View

The content of the LPEX Outline view should be exportable. It would be a great basis for application documentation—even better if the context help for procedures/fields/constants would be included. JSON or XML would be fine maybe also a readable f...
