We want to make a global requireSecure available for API requesters

For zosconnect_apiRequesters element, the apiRequester sub-element has both requireAuth and requireSecure defined. We understand that requireAuth is available at a higher level to cover all zosconnect_apiRequesters. We have a need for requireSecure to be available at the higher level also.

    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 has been enhanced to allow you to specify the requireSecure attribute on the zosconnect_apiRequesters element for all API requesters. Prior to this release this attribute could only be specified globally on the zosconnect_zosConnectManager level and therefore applied to all APIs, services and API requesters, or could be specified on individual API requesters.

    For further details about API Requester Configuration, refer to the “Configuration elements” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Documentation:
