Out-of-band Webpage to display RACF Password expiry warning (Similar to 'ICH70002I YOUR PASSWORD WILL EXPIRE IN nnn DAYS' message in TSO)

IBM Z Multi-Factor Authentication V2.1 Authentication factors: Generic RADIUS (AZFRADP1) & Password (AZFPASS1) Out-of-band Authentication RACF option PASSWORD(WARNING) is enabled. When a non-MFA enabled user successfully logs in to TSO, the user will get a message similar to the following, indicating that the RACF password will expire in nnn number of days. ICH70002I YOUR PASSWORD WILL EXPIRE IN nnn DAYS MFA enabled user first generates a Cache Token Credential (CTC) on the out-of-band webpage and then uses the CTC to login to TSO. MFA enabled user does not get any message similar to ICH70002I . Enhancement request: ICH70002I message to be generated for all users, MFA enabled and non-MFA enabled.
