Esteemed Listers, As we are required to support TLSv1.2 for our TN3270 sessions, we are now implementing AT-TLS. Using the 'IBM Personal Communications and IBM z/OS TTLS Enablement' Redpaper, I have the configuration of the PAGENT, TCPIP and TELNET regions going. Remains to decide what is the correct way of starting it all up...
The Redpaper says I have to add an AUTOLOG statement for PAGENT to the TCPIP profile. However, the 'AUTOLOG considerations' paragraph in the 'IP Configuration Guide' gives a complicated explanation from which we take away that I should not be using the AUTOLOG because in our installation, it will not be listening on any port. The Redpaper states that 'The task (PAGENT) should remain up.' However, when I stop it after TCPIP has come up, nothing harmful seems to happen and new TN3270 sessions can start up quite fine. So, what is the best practice, please? Thanks and very best regards, Jantje. P.S. We have System Automation and can use that for starting and stopping if needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
