IDAA Externalized Password Management for Management Console

Externalized Password Management for Management Console

Problem Statement:

  • IDAA admin console does not comply with current audit requirements

  • The Admin console is administered using an admin account with a non-expiring password that is not vaulted

  • Admin console provides the ability to upgrade, shutdown and recycle IDAA LPARs (even deleting LOB data!)

  • Admin console IP address/port is open to JPMC internal network; anyone with these credentials can log in

  • Four IDAA production clusters went live on March 20; an outage will cause significant business impacts

  • Provide LDAP Group Support, or integrate with existing LDAP Group support being delivered for zHMC (RFE 141611). Provide “Direct Bind” capability for LDAP binding.

  • Enable HTTPS communication with Web GUI, block port 80 and other unsecure ports; must be TLS 1.2 enabled

  • Provide capability to install CA signed SSL Certificates
