    CICS Explorer 5.3.0.11 or later provides smartcard support.

    Hi,

    RDZ satisfies our requirement. The question is if CICS Explorer 5.3 also inherited the client code to support smartcard. From the documentation available I could not determine that.

    regards, Marcel

    CICS Explorer 5.3 includes a new Remote System Explorer removing the need to use FTP. Would using the new RSE capability satisfy this requirement?
