Something of a plug; hit delete if you wish. X-Posted RACF-L and IBM-MAIN. I have been reading and sometimes responding to various people’s “help me with my certificate problem” posts here for years. I have been kicking around various approaches to certificate problem resolution with my friend Paul Robichaux at NewEra. Most add-on certificate tools are what I would call “static” – they essentially front-end the various RACF commands and/or database and display certificate information in various more user-friendly formats, and front-end the RACF commands to make administration easier.
We got the idea of a “dynamic” approach: a tool that given a keyring and the address of a server would actually attempt a connection and tell you everything it learned doing that connection: all about the protocol and certificates if the connection succeeded; every detail of the failure if it failed. Among other features, it fully automates the production and formatting of the GSK trace. Just about every possible detail of the configuration is specifiable in a Web interface, and every detail of the session or attempted session is reported. Anyway, I am going to do a Webinar and demo the tool this coming Tuesday. I will demo the resolution of two real-world certificate problems. Free. Minimal registration. No salesman will call you – I promise. Truly a demo, not a sales pitch. I would be honored if any of our associates here could attend. https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07ejrm7u2yeb142c9b&oseq=&c=&ch= Charles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
