    We have a new audit requirement to extract the following periodically and would want this added to Rest API.

    List LDAP Group/Users names and assigned roles and relevant attributes like checker authority.

    After completing  a throughout assessment, we can conclude the following:

    The individual fields were grouped down to 13 concepts where we already have 4 of them implemented in 5.4 PGA1 code level. Available code to the users now.

    Right now, we cannot commit to specific releases for the rest of them since we are already in the middle of development for the release expected for 24Q4 and resources are already allocated.

    Customers can expect to have them available in their order of priority as soon as we can assign resources, we have all their items on our roadmap.

    Specifics on how to use the REST API interface and available endpoints are described on the IBM Docs contents for TS7700 https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ts7700-virtual-tape or on-premise links using your own TS7700 Management Interface

    Secure Data Transfer - Protocol
    DNS Server
