    Hi Moshe.  I'm replying to your 2nd question regarding API support in Content Services on AWS (aka CSAWS)

    While initial API support in CSAWS was limited to the GraphQL API, as of April 2023, we now support the CE Java and CE .NET API's also.  However, there are some important caveats for this support:

    1) It requires the use of OIDC for authentication.  There is no support for username/password based authentication to the CE API's in CSAWS, nor will there ever be
    2) It requires that the customer configure their own OAuth IdP as the IdP for the CSAWS tenant.  It will not work with the default CSAWS configuration that uses IBMID as the IdP.  It is expected that any production customer will use their own IdP, regardless of API usage
    3) To pass in the OIDC token, the OpenTokenCredentials class of the API's must be used.  For details, see:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=authentication-v559-later-single-sign-integrations-via-content-engine-api-bearer-token
       or for the .NET API:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/filenet-p8-platform/5.5.x?topic=namespace-opentokencredentials-class

    This support is primarily intended to support web application based API use cases.  To better support integrations with backend services and command line tools, we plan to add support for API key based authentication to CE API's later this summer. 

    Regards,

    Joe
