    Thank you for this RFE.

    On the 19th April we added a comment describing how this use case could be satisfied using technology that exists today. We ask if this approach meets your needs and have not received any further comments detailing what would be needed above and beyond the solution we described. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this time. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    Unfortunately it's not entirely clear what this has to do with the z/OS Connect EE product. Our primary function to to facilitate RESTful OpenAPI calls to and from the mainframe. It would be useful to understand where you envision z/OS Connect EE fitting in this use case?

    If you want to make an HTTPS call from REXX to acquire a token it would be useful to understand what you need beyond what is provided today by the the z/OS Web Enablement Toolkit:
