Support SD_BYPASS_AUTHENTICATION_BY_APPLICATION for Kerberos Enabled Cluster

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I just realized that per documentation here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-symphony/7.3.2?topic=rw-directly-connecting-recursive-session-spectrum-symphony-session-manager-ssm , SD_BYPASS_AUTHENTICATION_BY_APPLICATION is not supported when we have Kerberos enabled.  As we are required to have Kerberos for user authentication, can we enable the SD authentication by pass under kerberos as well to help improve our recurisve workload submission?

    Hi, Xibei,

    With quick code review, SD_BYPASS_AUTHENTICATION_BY_APPLICATION could be supported for Kerberos as well(might be issue with documentation), you might go ahead to try it out if you have the environment via providing a bad password in the client auth when creating the direct connection.

    Thanks, Dennis
