Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Identity Management API is now fully supported The Identity Management (IdM) API was available as a Technology Preview in RHEL 9.2 and as of RHEL 9.3, it is fully supported. Users can use existing tools and scripts even if the IdM API is enhanced to enable multiple versions of API commands. These enhancements do not change the behavior of a command in an incompatible way. This has the following benefits: * Administrators can use previous or later versions of IdM on the server than on the managing client. * Developers can use a specific version of an IdM call, even if the IdM version changes on the server. The communication with the server is possible, regardless if one side uses, for example, a newer version that introduces new options for a feature. NOTE:: While IdM API provides a JSON-RPC interface, this type of access is not supported. Red{nbsp}Hat recommends accessing the API with Python instead. Using Python automates important parts such as the metadata retrieval from the server, which allows listing all available commands.

Description François Cami 2017-11-16 10:19:02 UTC 
As per:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298286
"As a Developer of a Product, I want to call a specific version of API call, without being affected by higher or lower version of the IdM server than my testing instance so that the Product is not dependent on a specific IdM server version and respective changes"

the IdM API provides versioned calls so that a Product using the API will not be affected by API changes.

The API is described in:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/2728021

However, it is currently not supported (technology preview).

Would it be possible to support it formally?
