This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

I would ask you to evaluate this and see if it provides what you need Christopher and get back to us however for now I will mark this as "Not under consideration" until you revert back.
Thank you for the great idea and also the carefully thought through options that we have today Christopher.
We do have an additional mechanism that will persist through into MREF called "Cloud Login". This provides an independent way of authenticating as that user using another identity provider. This can be used to impersonate a user without compromising their internal identity credentials. It would require an administrator to configure the cloud login and create users on the cloud identity provider as required to impersonate them.

I feel this offers what you are asking for here and again this is independent of the SSO configuration in e.g. the server.xml file on Liberty.
