Add the ability to connect via passticket with "Remote Connection Emulator" (RCE) from IBM Developper for z/OS 16*

Currently, users can connect to IDz thru RACF passticket but must use a user/password to connect to HCE, and now RCE.

Would it be possible to find a method or at least reuse the passticket connection set up on IDz to automatically connect to the host via RCE ?

    Hello, thank youy for this first return.

    So you're telling me that it depends on the type of gateway and, for example, if we're in APPC, no hope of getting to an automatic connection as long as we're no getting ISPF Gateway ?

    Thank you for submitting an idea with IDz, we appreciate your input and suggestions to improve our client experiences. Many of our added enhancements come directly from suggestions from our users like yourself. We?ve spent some time evaluating this idea and have concluded that it is not something that we can provide a solution for in the next two years.

    Perhaps a solution to consider instead is to use RSE's built in TSO command line. It does not support ISPF panels, but anything you can do without panels can be done from this command line, without the need to authenticate as all this runs as a RSE sub-process. RSE TSO commands depend on ISPF Gateway, which comes in 2 flavors; Legacy and Interactive. By default RSE uses Legacy ISPF Gateway, which relies on /etc/zexpl/ISPF.conf to mimic a TSO logon procedure. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/explorer-for-zos/3.3?topic=bc-ispfconf-legacy-ispf-gateway-configuration-file

    As the name implies, the newer Interactive ISPF Gateway supports replying to prompts (Legacy is very similar to running TSO in batch). It uses actual TSO logon procedures, so the client will prompt you when connecting to the RSE host.
