    Is there a way to authenticate management interface users by integrating with an OpenID Connect provider. I don't see any option for OIDC in the RBM settings. 

    Regards,
    Sriharsha.

    DataPower's RBM settings does not have native support for OpenID.  DataPower services can support OpenID https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datapower-gateways/10.0.1?topic=processing-openid-connect-support

    If there was to be an implementation of RBM with OpenID it would have to be a custom implementation -- you would have the custom RBM XSLT and it would have to reach out to a DataPower service like a MPG to do the AAA/OpenID logic and pass back success or fail.

    Page 250 https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247901.pdf shows an example of custom RBM authentication (how you get the user/password in the custom XSLT).

    See here for OpenID support in DataPower: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datapower-gateways/10.0.1?topic=processing-openid-connect-support
