Add an interface in TOS for LDAP so that we can secure sessions

It is possible to use the Java API for users to implement a Kerberos based call to LDAP to enforce security and access to customized TOS consoles.

It would be beneficial if the native TOS console supplied by IBM could incorporate some kind of security interface/API that could be used by TOS users to protect console access.

    No. the user exit does not satisfy our requirements. IBM should build it into their product, not have the user write it in a user exit.

    The TPF Operations Server provides an authentication user exit which can be used to verify TOS client credentials. In the TOS session configuration file (.conf), the TOS administrator defines what credentials will be passed to the authentication user exit (i.e. user ID and password).

    The TOS product provides information and sample user exits in the .\IBM TOS\userexits directory:
    - .\IBM TOS\userexits\TOSAuthUE.txt contains details to set up this feature,
    - .\IBM TOS\userexits\TOSAuthUE\TOSAuthUE.cpp is a sample program which authenticates a TOS client using LDAP server.
