Critcal need for passticket or IDT connection to Db2 for z/OS using persitent timer with zLiberty

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently, the persistent timer in zLiberty only supports a password connection to Db2 for z/OS. This is very problematic for customers as it requires an outage for zLiberty whenever you need to change the persistent timer ID's password. We have also seen multiple situations now where a customer didn't change the password in time, and the user ID was revoked. An invalid password or revoked ID breaks our product's functionality as our daemons run using the persistent timer.

We need a non-password way of connecting to Db2 for z/OS for the persistent timer.

This should be fairly easy to implement as z/OS comes with the RACF Java libraries needed for requesting a passticket, which could then used as the password in a connection request to Db2 for z/OS. All we would need is a configuration option in the <persistentExecutor> section of the server.xml that tells the persistent timer to use a passticket for the connection (vs. a password).
