    Dear Mr. Jonathan Eosze:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review and the discussion we have had with you, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Sincerely,
    Poonam Chitale

    Yes, RACF key rings. It sounds like the direction is to use AT-TLS for transport layer encryption, but there is still the desire to use certificates for authentication instead of basic auth.

    Can you please provide more details about USAA's RACF certificate repository and how it is configured. Is it similar to keyring? If you can provide details on configuration steps that would be helpful. Thanks.
