Encrypted substitute password support

[SBireley@xxxxxxxxx]

     I posted a question about what versions and PTF's support the clear 
     text and encrypted subsitute password in TN5250e.  This is an 
     important feature because it prevents a user's password from being 
     transmitted in clear text accross the internet.  It also bypasses the 
     sign on screen.
     
     
     
     1) Native support begins at V4R3 and up.
     2) V3R2, V3R7, V4R1, V4R2 support with PTF's.
     3) Encrypted and clear-text support are in all versions, with support 
     being cut-in simultaneously.
     4) See answer to 3 above.
     
     It is the CLIENT that determines if the Telnet Server is to treat the 
     password as encrypted or clear-text by the IBMRSEED value returned (or 
     not returned).  If not returned or has an empty value, then clear-text 
     is defaulted.   The Telnet Server will always support encrypted if the 
     client indicates with non-zero IBMRSEED value.
     
     Here's the intial PTF where TN5250E support was cut-in; all have since 
     been superseded.
     
     +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ 
     |   V3R2    |   V3R7    |   V4R1    |   V4R2    |

     |  SF46542 |  SF46543  |  SF46544  |  SF45762  |    
     +----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
     Initial PTF's where fix first cut-in
     
     Caveat:  These PTF's listed are the initial PTF's for TN5250E
     support, and may have been superseded since they were first released.  
     A superseding PTF can be used in place of any one of the listed PTF's 
     here.
