    RFE Development Team,

    Our TSA customer is requiring about the current status of this RFE again as the Security Team wants this change made to the HMC. Can we provide any information about where the request stands or any potential target dates ? We need to get some type of update for the customer.

    Perhaps having this as a configuration option in the GUI rather than disabling the feature in its entirety would be a safer option to allow the user to choose based on the requirements of the company.
