  • Importing .bpmn file in Flow designer is now deprecated. Use a .json file for all future imports. To ease the transition, the system supports converting BPMN format to JSON format before import. The end of life is 30 June 2026. See Managing flow designer for more details.
  • IBM is implementing backend changes to the following OpenID Connect (OIDC) endpoints.

    • /v1.0/endpoint/default/*
    • /oidc/endpoint/default/*

    The following is the status of the deployment for different data centers:

    • Australia data centers - completed
    • US data centers - completed (14 October 2025)
    • Canada data centers - completed (16 December 2025)
    • Japan data centers - completed (14 January 2026)
    • Europe data centers - scheduled (26 January 2026)
    • US SL2 data centers - pending

    No disruption is expected for existing /oauth2/* endpoint users. For more information about the changes, see OpenID Connect implementation notes. If you have any concerns, open a support ticket.

  • Some password policy APIs are being deprecated. The end of life is 31 July 2027. See Deprecated APIs for more details.
  • The adaptive access feature is not supported in a FedRAMP environment.
  • The design system for the IBM Verify Admin UI is being upgraded in an upcoming release. The latest version of the Carbon design component library improves accessibility and loading times. These behind-the-scenes changes provide developers with access to the latest tools. You might notice changes in colors, spacing, or size as the design is standardized.
  • The Subscription Usage Dashboard is currently still in preview mode. Some inaccuracies were discovered in the usage statistics. The levels of consumption for your subscriptions might be incorrectly displayed in the dashboard. The issue is being worked on.

    Note: The inaccuracies in the data that is displayed do not affect your billing in any way.
