Token option for basic authentication

[frankgiordano]

Currently, the way each REST API call sends its credential/authentication is with the following http header.

'Authorization':'Basic <encoding of userid:password>'

Provide the ability to send an authentication token as a cookie instead of a header entry.

This change will be included in SDK release 3.

SDK release version 3 introduces zosmfauth package. ZosmfAuth provides APIs to obtain authentication tokens (a JSON Web and an LTPA token) on the user's authentication request. This API can also be used to delete the current store of JSON Web and LPTA token(s).

To enable Web token authentication, you need to set a token value within the ZosConnection class "cookie" member. Once set, each request is performed with the token value within the cookie http payload. At this point, Basic authentication is disabled.

To enable Basic authentication after setting a cookie, you will need to set the cookie value as null.
