External security manager (ESM) should be the only way to secure the product. The internal security feature should not be provided as default. The product should not be operative without any security.

It will help ensure our mainframe sites must comply with the internal security audit standards.

    Hello, whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities for the IBM OMEGAMON offering, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then. Regards IBM OMEGAMON Product Management
