An AD to ESM mapping mechanism for objects and actions with a RESTful API interface

All of the front-end and orchestration tools work off Active Directory authorizations. There is no connection between any AD entitlements and the resources on the mainframe environment. To prevent a man in the middle attack there is a need to create a solution that would link the ADLDS entitlements of a requesting user with the resources present on the mainframe environment. For example, user 12345678 is part of the ADLDS group ZZZ and that gives read access to dataset profile ABC.DEF.** The above would be a requirement for all IBM customers who want to use off platform tooling to automate processes on the IBM z platform in a secure manner
