Improve security processing for TCPIP-services

In a TCPIPService the authentication method must be specified. Currently there is no support for JSON Web Token (JWT).
The TCPIPService definition should be enhanced to support at least JWT or better all types of authentication. And the handling should be automatic, that means, if a token is provided, use the token, if a certificate is provided, use the certificate and if a user/password is provided, use that.

    Thank you for raising the RFE on the subject of JWTs in TCPIP configuration.
    I have a question about the possible implementation of this.
    Would you envisage using this with a JWT subject which is a SAF (RACF) userid
    or would it be a distributed identity (such as an X.500 userid) which would need to be mapped
    to a SAF userid by CICS.
