ACS should have an option NOT to auto-populate the user id field

ACS should have an option NOT to auto-populate the user id field. In a shared environment like a terminal server, we don't want each user to see the previous user's "user profile" auto-populated in the user id field. It should be possible to leave this field blank.


Use Case:

A user launches a 5250 session via HOD file. The login prompt should be a "clean slate" with no user id or password auto-populated.

    This is already available. You can set this from the ACS main program under "System Configuration" for the specific system. It is under the "Connection" and "Password Prompting" and use "Prompt for user name and password every time"
