Add command to flush z/OS Connect authentication cache

We are running z/OS Connect 3.0.18 on z/OS 2.2 and have the following defined in server.xml:

<authentication id="Basic" cacheEnabled="true" />

This results in user's credentials being cached for the default 10 minutes. However, even after we revoke a userid, the cached credentials will allow indefinite access to the system until the user is inactive for 10 minutes or more.

To increase security we would like to have the ability to request that the authentication cache be flushed immediately...preferably by adding a z/OS MODIFY command such as:

F <server>,FLUSH

...so that Automation can be used to manage the revocation process.

Alternatively, perhaps flushing the authentication cache could be done when the F <server>,ZCON,REFRESH command is issued (regardless of whether any configuration changes were detected).

    This RFE was resolved in July 2019. Unfortunately it's status was not update to reflect that.

    As such we are closing this RFE since RFE 134838 has been raised against the WebSphere Application Server team in it's place:

    This RFE has been re-raised as RFE 134838 as a generic requirement for the WebSphere Application Server team. Please consider expressing your support for this new RFE, as we believe that the requirement brings value to all offerings based upon the Liberty profile. As such, this RFE record is being closed as "Transferred to other product".
