Thanks, I now see this is not a trivial undertaking... I hope someone has
 
some GSKKYMAN execs...


With z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0 (540), the SSL server is implemented as a
 
CMS-based server for which the key database is maintained in the z/VM Byt
e 
File System (BFS), and which is managed via a stand-alone utility program
, 
gskkyman. 

More information about this level of the SSL server is available via the 

Migration Considerations page and TCP/IP Planning and Customization. 

Important Notes: 

PTF Requirements 
The PTF for APAR PK65850 must be installed to enable the SSL server. The 

PTF for this APAR became available 12 December 2008. 

Also, check the Service Updates page for detailed information about servi
ce 
updates that are available and necessary for running the z/VM SSL server.
 


Compatibility 
Prior-level SSL server implementations cannot be used with z/VM 540, nor 

can the 540 level of the SSL server be used with prior levels of z/VM. 


A z/VM level 520 or 530 level certificate database cannot not be relocate
d 
and used as-is by the z/VM 540 SSL server. To migrate certificates (with 

private keys) from a 530 level certificate database, to that used by the 

540 level SSL server, the PTF for APAR PK75661 must be installed. 

Detailed information for installing the updated RPMs provided by this PTF
, 
and instructions for migrating certfificates for use by a z/VM 540 (or 

later) SSL server can be found at the TCP/IP for z/VM 530 SSL Server: 
Certificate With Key Export Support page.
