identity propagation with z/OS Connect connecting to Db2 Merged

User needs identity propagation with z/OS Connect connecting to Db2. Current server.xml file for Db2 has the username and password hardcoded in the Db2 Connection information. User is currently using Db2 Native REST Services and can pass userid/password thru the http header. Would like the same functionality with z/OS Connect in order to create true RESTful APIs.

    Wondering if also possible to pass the RACF id associated with the client certificate passed to zCEE. Was going to eventually ask about this in forum.
