Well, in our case at least the workstation refers to a company provided and 
managed workstation.  We can't log on to z/OS from our personal devices.  And 
we use SSO for many applications.  I don't know how it works; only that it does 
work.

IMO, this is a bad idea unless you can count on everyone's workstation being at 
least as secure
as z/OS is. All you need is one user who gets their PC hacked and the hacker 
has access to z/OS,
with whatever authority that user has.
