Describe the bug

There are a few issues with how we prompt for authentication when using profiles. Some issues are exclusive to v3 and others span across both major versions.

  • Extenders do not get credential prompting for free when using the APIs outside of Zowe Explorer actions
    • This may not be that problematic, but would be nice for extenders to have, and avoids the need for extenders to add the logic themselves (code duplication)
    • Applies to: v2, v3
  • We need to block before attempting to use a profile again with the invalid creds/token, to avoid continued attempts by the filesystem (some out of our control)
    • This is an issue and will need to be resolved to avoid credential loops in virtual workspaces and other areas
    • Applies to: v3
  • We have to add error handling everywhere that the APIs are used to handle authentication errors
    • Not a serious issue, but the code duplication can be avoided and will need to be considered for every new feature/fix
    • Applies to: v2, v3
  • While its not an issue, it would be nice to "lock" a profile so that we can wait / prompt for auth before making another request
    • Applies to: v2, v3
