i am getting older and grumpier ever day. And this is one of the reasons why.
z/OS 2.4 introduces change to AT-TLS rules required for the DDS task default setting of https. The example given in the manual for AT-TLS is in the XML cryptospeach of the developers. Since this is too arcane for us old fogeys (and a lot of server pups), IBM provides the GUI (network Communication Assistant) under z/OS to turn the process into pointing and cllicking. What is NOT documented is how to translate the arcane text into which click. So - it is like getting instruction in French for a process that uses English. And the provided translater speaks Urdu. I have spent the last two days attempting to perform my own traslation of both the AT-TLS magical spell and the TCPPARMS from the TCPIP stack. The only silver lining is continued employment opportunities ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
