OpenIDConnect : Embedded browser based authentication for UI based Non-Web clients

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Context: ELM 7.0.2 deployed with Jazz Authorization Server which is delegating Authentication to a another OIDC Provider (PingID)

The Liberty Application Password (app-pwd) concept introduced, in order to support OpenIDConnect for non-web client is not a feasible solution for our users of EWM Eclipse client. The limitation of the pre-requisite of generating an app-pwd by the user individually for each of the applications in a multi-context root environment (e.g. CCM1, CCM2, CCM3 etc.) is too cumbersome for a user using the rich-client (like EWM Eclipse). If this user has Projects spread across in different context roots, she needs to switch the app-pwd in order to connect to the corresponding application. This is unacceptable in terms of usability. For such non-web clients, an embedded browser based solution will be way more user-friendly (similar features already present in Rhapsody - GC picker or in DOORS Classic). Without the embedded browser based authentication of UI based Non-Web clients, we will not be able to rollout to our users.

Note: The app-pwd feature usage for command-line clients (like ETM Adapters) however, is acceptable as this is mostly used for headless execution

    Thank you for submitting this RFE for browser-based authentication in non-web clients. We've been considering this within our products and are making this RFE an uncommitted candidate for a potential future release.
