Simplify Security Logins for Drive Explorer

Currently in Drive Explorer you have to login to the remote file store. Coming soon, you'll also have to log into the local file store. From a security perspective, this makes sense. However, it is tedious for administrators especially when there are several environments.

In the Rich Tier days, we could map all the directories on one rich tier and not have to worry about logins.

I'd like to propose leveraging the IBM ID to control access to the file shares; perhaps by allowing an IBM ID to be mapped to one or more file share accounts (which are then tied to ACLs). This will allow for an SSO-like interface on drive explorer but still limit security to the appropriate directories.

    I like this idea as in our environment there is no need for the extra security so being able to manage this so that it doesn't apply (or is linked in the background to our logins so that it signs on automatically) would be useful. Other steps in the right direction, would be to tie the fs_ login to the open session and not to have to repeatedly log in if you have more than on drive explorer tab in a workbench. Or if you have 2 workbenches open that the drive explorer authentication was across both workbenches for example.
