While I'd reverse this from trying to have the host initiate the telnet 
or ssh-like processing for the login and have the login trigger the 
no-password path, I'll assume that there's a reason why you're not 
going that way.

For your path, SYSALF would be the (mostly documented) path I would 
experiment with; the automatic login facility (ALF).  Or yes, 
certificate-based ssh sessions.

The normal trigger for a login being unsolicited input routed to the 
job controller, and I don't know of a documented API to trigger that 
from within an application.  LOGINOUT is pretty twisty and far from a 
modern design, and the terminal driver is arguably even more twisty.
