Hi Shah, Thanks for your reply.
May I confirm that you mean that you’re using it for the UI or for the API authentication? What we discuss here is only the API authentication. If you meant UI authentication, actually the non-RBAC UI is already deprecated in master branch, as I shared (meaning from one of the future release, only FAB-based RBAC UI will be supported).
