Support JWT in zCEE API Toolkit IBM Explorer for z/OS

From the PMR:
Hello,
I've confirmed with the z/OS Connect EE developers that JWT authentication from the z/OS Connect EE API toolkit is not supported. Could the customer raise an RFE that would start with z/OS Explorer host connections and then we could leverage it. Currently we support
basic auth and client cert.
AND
The zCEE L3 team confirmed that the z/OS Connect API toolkit connection does not support JWT authentication. The suggested that if you do want
the capability to connect the API Toolkit, to submit an RFE for the z/OS Explorer client to request support for JWT authentication.
Thank you,
Joan Keemle

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway
