We had it configured right, but thanks for that doc!  Very useful!
My problem was the syntax has changed between 10 and 11 for openssl.

This works on both:

openssl
speed rsa1024 -engine ibmca

 
And sles 11 sp1 has dynamic ibmca engine support so it will find it without the 
need to use the -engine flag.

It also has a nice "icastats" command to let you see what it did with HW vs SW.

The doc in the link is a little unclear about whether Novell is providing 
OpenSSH crypto support, but I verfied that it is in there.

This will save some cpu cycles!

Take a look at  
http://www.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101690  When I read 
it, I stepped through it on our z10 and everything worked as described.  From 
what I remember, you need to edit the /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file to add the bits 
from /usr/share/doc/packages/openssl-ibmca/openssl.cnf.sample thats included in 
the openssl-ibmca package.
