FWIW, from Mozilla:

"Most browsers, not just Firefox, do not trust certificates by GeoTrust, 
RapidSSL, Symantec, Thawte, and VeriSign because these certificate authorities 
failed to follow security practices in the past."

Your best bet is to use the java keytool utility by connecting to your CD
host and port. This will print the cert presented when you connect

Connect Direct Secure + - Certificate in use

2020-01-31 Thread Steve David
Hi All,
We are planning to upgrade CD V4.8 to V5.2, we lost the key to open the key
database which used for secure+ encryption. We have used GSKKYMAN utility
to generate the certificate and signed by third party CA.

SECURE.SSL.PATH.PREFIX =/usr/lpp/connectd/conn.kdb,

We have couple of certificates mentioned in above path, out of which one is
expiring in Mar 2020 and other one in Nov 2020, Is there a way to find
which certificate is in use for SSL
Encryption?

Thanks

Re: [External] Re: 3592-E07

2020-01-31 Thread Pommier, Rex
Tony,

I'm not impressed with the writing in the article.  Parts of it are misleading. 
 The picture showing the disaster and the RPO/RTO timelines on it are OK, but 
this paragraph leaves a bit to be desired:


For example, if you have a 4-hour RPO for an application then you will have a 
maximum 4-hour gap between backup and data loss. Having a 4-hour RPO does not 
necessarily mean you will lose 4 hours' worth of data. Should a word processing 
application go down at midnight and come up by 1:15 am, you might not have much 
(or any) data to lose. But if a busy application goes down at 10 am and isn't 
restored until 2:00 pm, you will potentially lose 4 hours' worth of highly 
valuable, perhaps irreplaceable data. In this case, arrange for more frequent 
backup that will let you hit your application-specific RPO.


The example of a busy application going down at 10 and not being restored until 
2 has nothing to do with a 4 hour RPO, they're describing a 4 hour RTO.  The 
RPO could still be 5 minutes, if the data had been backed up at 9:55 and the 
application went down - and trashed the data requiring a data restore - at 
10:00.  

In a nutshell, RPO has to do with how much elapsed time you can handle between 
the time a backup is done and a data loss occurs, and RTO is after the loss, 
how long you can handle being down before your applications are back.  The 
example in the article didn't show that.

Rex

What I'm talking about is time delta between primary and secondary

I am contemplating purchasing an FTP server certificate for z/OS client FTP
access. I'd like to know which CA's are most likely to already be installed
in customers' CERTAUTH keyrings.

  


IBM used to ship certificates for VeriSign, Thawte, Integrion, Entrust,
Equifax and ICP. Are those still popularly-trusted CAs?

  


What about Comodo? They are the largest CA. What about GoDaddy? What about
Let's Encrypt, the no-charge CA?

  


There's been a lot of consolidation. Equifax is GeoTrust is VeriSign. Thawte
and Symantec are now DigiCert.

FWIW, from Mozilla:

"Most browsers, not just Firefox, do not trust certificates by GeoTrust, 
RapidSSL, Symantec, Thawte, and VeriSign because these certificate 
authorities failed to follow security practices in the past."

I'm not suggesting who anyone should trust, but IBM currently uses 
Digicert for its software download servers, therefore, I expect most 
folks already have the Digicert CA cert installed.
