Support for OAuth 2.0 client_credentials grant type using an X.509 certificate signed JWT

The JWT needs to be signed with a z/OS Connect private key. The client_id used in the JWT “iss” and “sub” claims must be a functional ID configured in server.xml, which is then also used on the client_id parameter of the OAuth 2.0 access token request. This request must use ‘grant_type': ‘client_credentials' with the X.509 certificate signed JWT as the client credentials in the request payload.

The current OAuth 2.0 support in z/OS Connect is not acceptable as it requires hard coding a user ID and password, or client secret, into the configuration.

    We would have an additional requirement of utilizing custom claims, as noted in RFE 141033, with this solution as well. Our solution would still require getting an exchange token from our in-house authorization server.
