CICS Explorer - Redrive User Logon at MFA Token Expiration

Currently if a user logs on to an LPAR via CICS Explorer (CMCI Connection) he enters an MFA token. If his LPAR connection/session is still active after the MFA Token Expires and the user either refreshes his screen or drives a request for information he receives an ICH408I MFA Failure message in the WUI task for EACH CICS Explorer View he has open. This can result in multiple ICH408I: LOGON/JOB INITIATION - MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION FAILURE 11.52.49 STC00878 ICH408I USER(USERID) GROUP(RACFGROUP) NAME(USERNAME) MFA Failures, causing the users MFA Token ability to be suspended. At MFA Token Expiration (maybe the first ICH408I) We would like CICS Explorer to redrive the User Login process, rather than continue to process multiple MFA Token Failures. This would give the user the ability to input a new/valid MFA token

    CICS Development: We see there is a case associated with this Idea, ie TS010309908, and we see that the case is closed because the problem cannot be recreated. We will close this Idea with 'Is a defect' response and suggest a new case is raised if the problem reappears.

    This looks as if it could be a defect and we would like to get some doc to investigate further. Are you ok to raise a CASE for this ?
