Problem conclusion

• z/OSMF supports the use of JWT tokens by this APAR as follows:
  1.The z/OSMF server returns a JWT token after the user
  authenticates with the z/OSMF server;
  2.The z/OSMF-provided JWT token can be decrypted by a remote
  web application with or without requiring a connection to the
  z/OSMF server;
  3.The z/OSMF-provided JWT token can be used to access z/OSMF
  REST services, similar to the use of LTPA tokens.
