    I missed the notification that this has been marked "delivered". Unfortunately, it hasn't. I don't want to have a hard coded password imbedded in a server configuration file, and I really don't want even the user ID specified there. I want the user ID credentials that had been provided to ZCEE to get passed along to IMS Connect, similar to how IMS Connect is able to pass the user along to IMS.

    The link identifies how we can hard code a user and password in server.xml, but I can't find
    1. how to use pass tickets instead of hard coding a password.
    2. how to allow z/OS Connect to pass the credentials the client provided on to IMS Connect.

    I had thought that this RFE provided for both of those, but do I need to submit a separate RFE for that?
