Colin,

Yes, I have been editing manually too. Using manual settings I have covered 
AT-TLS for 
1. 3270 connections,
2. CKNSERVE for zSecure connections between two z/OS systems.

I am now trying to add JES NJE to the setup. I have found this sort of sample 
and found at least one error in it.
https://ftpdocs.broadcom.com/cadocs/0/CA%20Spool%2012%200-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/HTML/Spool_Customization_ENU/2304043.html
 

I have attempted a correction to that, but still it does not work and I am 
failing to understand the error messages. So I though maybe using the 
configurator would help.

Do you have a sample for NJE connections?
I will look at your blog. (I have used your blog previously for other stuff.)

Lennie

I tried using the attls config tool on z/osmf.  It has quirks, and I gave up 
and copied a known config and extended it.

I now edit the config file manually.  I blogged about it . search for 
colinpaice at-atls. If you contact me offline with what you want, i may be able 
to create a config file.  Colin
