z/OS Connect EE - Enable ID Assertion at individual API requester level

ID Assertion capability (to propagate security credentials from z/OS Applications onto z/OS Connect EE) got introduced with 3.0.24. It is a valuable one. But it can be configured ONLY at Global level (zosconnect_apiRequesters) within a runtime. That is, Once it is enabled, it will be applicable across all API requesters'. As API Requesters' of distinct nature to be created and security need for them as well be different, We strongly recommend to allow ID ASSERTION to be enabled/disabled at individual API Requester level (i.e., at apiRequester level).

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.45 / APAR PH36068:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH36068
    The z/OS Connect EE API requester is enhanced to allow you to specify the idAssertion attribute on the
    zosconnect_apiRequesters > apiRequester subelement for individual API requesters.
    For further details refer to the “additional configuration for the API requester archive” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Documentation:

    Strikes me that in an Operational Envt its vital that any setting for ID Assertion is consistent across all requestors (and in effect active). So on that basis I'm not supportive of this RFE.
