    Update audit interceptor to set SMF123S1_CLIENT_IP_ADDR to value of X-Forwarded-For when available

    A "kind" of STATEOD parameter similar to what exists in CICS

    SMF 123 records are written at the stop of the zOSconnect server or every 20 requests or at each request if it is set in the server.xml (bad idea for production environment) We would like to have a parameter similar to SATEOD in CICS to write the ...

    Add Response Payloads to IBMJMXConnectorREST APIs

    Currently the JMXConnectorREST APIs return no response payloads, only the HTTPS response codes. We would like to use the APIs for administering z/OS Connect server artifacts, however, without response payloads it is difficult to do so. A 200 or 20...
