TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the official IETF-standard replacement for SSL. TLS 1.0 is a slightly enhanced SSL 3.0. AT-TLS (Application Transparent Transport Layer Security) is the z/OS Communications Server facility for adding SSL to a connection without the application having to know anything about SSL. You define a policy to the Policy Agent identifying which connections should be secured and it all works "magically". That's not to say that defining the policy might not be a challenge. -- Curtis Pew ([email protected]) ITS Systems Core The University of Texas at Austin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
