MFA native Support of Thales eToken PASS without RADIUS

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We've successfully tested factor AZFYUBI1 with zMFA.  Our preferred factor for production would be AZFTOTP1, this is working fine. But we're currently in process of setting up some support processes (e.g. what will hapen, if somebody lost his phone). In this situation, our company decided to use the "Thales eToken PASS" as hardware OTP token.

We think it would be no problem to set this up with RADIUS. Anyway, we would prefer to validate the token directly in zMFA/RACF (like it is done with factor AZFYUBI1). So, please add native support for "Thales eToken PASS" to validate the generated token.
