3270 emulation in Developer for z systems cannot connect due to different HCE and RSED connections with both valid certificat

the 3270 Emulation in devloper for z Systems refuses the SSL connectivity, if the HCE Emulation Connection connects to a different Server than the configured RSED connectivity. Although both Connections do have valid certificates. The failure is, that the HCE Emulation connection refuses the Connection by saying: it does not trust the Server (certificate). The reason for this, by PMR Information, is, that there are two different connectivities with two different valid certificates.

We Need the 3270 terminal Emulation working in this Scenario. Please deliver a valid solution that can be used centralized without any user interaction required. Also Default Workspace changes can be used.

    After investigation and supplying the customer with a resolution, they indicated that this RFE could be canceled. We are rejecting it to close it out.

    The user sent me an email, in which he clarified what he would like to have.

    -----------
    3. to trust the certificates, because both are valid although they are different. There is no reason for me, not to trust either of them. And this needs to be changed instead of having a possibility to make it "easier" for users to handle it. Because there still a user interaction is necessary I assume. Therefore to trust both certificates is the proper solution.
    -----------

    In other words, (as an option) , do not bother with verifying the certificates since in the context, there is no reason to mistrust.
