Hi - 

I'm trying to create a secure port in TELNET to test SSL connections while 
leaving port 23 alone for now. 

According to   z/OS V1R11.0 Communications Server IP Configuration Guide z/OS 
V1R11.0
SC31-8775-16  

Telnet supports up to 255 ports on one server. A unique TELNETPARMS block must 
be created for each port or qualified port. 


My telnet parms roughly look like this:

TELNETGLOBALS        
  TCPIPJOBNAME TCPIP 
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  
ENDTELNETGLOBALS     
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  
TelnetParms          
  Port 23            
EndTelnetParms       
TelnetParms          
  Secureport 992     
  KEYRING SAF SSLRING
  SSLTIMEOUT 120     
EndTelnetParms       
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  
BeginVTAM            
; Port 23 ; Port 992 
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  
EndVTAM              


I then get the following error (note that I tried this via IPL as well as 
OBEYFILE which was getting too confusing)

EZZ6035I TELNET TN3270   DEBUG CONFIG EXCEPTION 142              
  LINE:       49               MOD: EZBTMCVV                     
  RCODE: 801C-00  Multiple TELNETPARMS blocks. Last one is used. 
  PARM1: 00000000 PARM2: TP    23 PARM3: 00000000                


The end result is that TN3270 ends up ignoring Port 23 completely, although I 
can OBEYFILE it back in.

Can anyone guide me as to how to code both a PORT and SECUREPORT statements for 
z/os TELNET?

Thanks ever so kindly,
