Some mainframe hosts have a Digital Certificate Access Server (DCAS). You can request a temporary, one-time pass ticket from DCAS for logging into a host application. Using this object, you can write and configure a macro to run when the session starts and to automatically log you in using the credentials of the currently logged in user.
