Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Check USERS.AccountEnabled as part of identity Only Authentication

If IdentityOnly authentication is configured for SSO (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spm/8.0.2?topic=authentication-identity-only) then the only check that is made by OOTB code is if the username exists.

This leaves a security gap if a user moves job or has access revoked, in that they can still access SPM if the SSO IdP side (e.g. ADFS) is not done correctly.

Market Opportunity

security
Usage frequency + #/type of users impacted

accounts are disabled multiple times per week as users leave
CURAM:Workarounds + Proposed Solution

workaround is to set the user ROLENAME to 'EMPTYROLE' , which is a custom role that contains no SIDs.

Better would be have the Identity Only code also check account enabled status
