APAR IC90735 was created in response to a PMR I raised after hitting this problem on a 6.2 to 6.3 server upgrade. It is referring to the encryption used during authentication and only affects 6.3 and 6.4 clients; from IBM:
"this does not affect TSM Client versions below 6.3, for the following reason. The client implemented AES for this authentication was in 6.3, and the 6.2 clients can only use DES, so that 6.3 server won't try to use AES with them." This was fixed in baclient 6.3.1.2 and 6.4.0.5 (6.4.0.6 for Windows) so any clients at or above those versions should not hit the problem.

The APAR led to client changes, not server changes, and I for one don't know how to determine ahead if time which clients are using encryption. So, if you still have an upgrade to TSM 6.3 server (or 7.1?!?), here's one more concern to note. Off to bandage my feet, Nick
