Integrate SAML and/or OIDC authentication options for IBMi (5250/Navigator/IFS/Printer Output/SSH)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Many businesses are increasingly demanding that standard authentication processes are adhered to for all applications/servers within their environment. Whether we agree with that approach or not, there is extraordinary pressure to fit IBMi into this mould.


The addition of SAML and/or OIDC authentication options would allow for the IBMi to be seen as a modern OS (sadly, it is not now) and avoid additional, onerous, security remediations, explanations and audits. These additional measures required specifically for IBMi mean that senior leadership figures can more easily lean in to pressure from other vendors to drop the IBMi and move to other platform providers that do offer a modern standardized approach to authentication.
