Kerberos support for pcomm 3270 sessions

For 5250 Sessions kerberos is implemented and available. Since we have customers running pcomm to connect to z-Series with 3270 sessions we would like to have kerberos support for the 3270 session types.

    Not considering this. Rejecting the RFE due to age, and/or we do not have plans to implement this.

    Australian Tax Office uses in excess of 15K licenses of PCOMM13 over 3270 connectivity tot he z Os environment. The network of users include all ATO customer i.e. ops, tax agents, welfare agents etc. The ability to SSO based on their credentials in Active Directory is fundamental to managing security in the new digitized workplace. The customer is currently in the evaluation with other zOS emulators and communications tool including from Micro Focus but not limited. Furthermore if IBM/HCL cannot provide a schedule and the client may even consider usage of other products that provide the Kerberos capability for accessing Main Frame.

    This we see as a major capability gap and a HIGH severity impact to the clients. Can we please prioritize and get a tentative schedule since its been 3 years this RFE is open?

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
