Additional items to consider is a SHARE presentation on SSL which was
very good.  And the RACF Security Administration manual does a nice job
of laying out different scenerios and the needed commands.

You might consider (if the client supports it) just auto-accepting the
certificate.

Some other things to consider start if you have multiple security
databases that are effectively "in synch".  You can choose to store the
cert in ICSF or in RACF/ACF2/Top Secret/Deadbolt.  However, getting the
private key back out is troublesome (I think support is coming for this
function) if ICSF is used.

We are a Top Secret shop with multiple databases.  So, I had to think
about what I was doing before I started.  

0) add a keyring to tn3270
1) generate a cert for tn3270 (to get a private key)
2) generate a cert request for tn3270
2.5) use verisign or internal CA 
3) get cert back and import it (don't forget to TRUST it) (may need CA
cert too)
4) assign/connect it to the tn3270 keyring 
5) export it (with everything)
6) import it at second site
