OpenSSL ru s natively on z/OS. You can download it from Rockets Ported Tools. 
It’s also trivial to port OpenSSL if you have a C compiler.

If I plugin the URI to a browser, I connect to z/OMSF without a problem.


$HASP1529   sends you to the HTTP toolkit where a 106 return code is:

Meaning: A communication error has been detected. One or
more of the following problems has occurred:
• A failure in the communication with the web server
• An error in an underlying sockets or SSL/TLS service call
• An error in obtaining the necessary system resources to
process the connect.
Action: Check the diagArea for further diagnostic information.
The toolkit uses many internal services, including sockets, SSL,
and other calls when processing an HTTP API service call. If one
of these internal services fails because of an error in
communications with the targeted server or because of an
internal environmental condition, the error is reported in the
diagnostic area. This information can be useful to the
application programmer but, in many cases, it is for the use of
IBM Support. If one of these errors occurs, clean up the
environment, check for possible communication configuration
problems, and reissue the request

Before opening a case with IBM, has anyone else run into this (and
hopefully solved it)?
z/OS 2.4  and I think that I have followed all the prereq tasks.

I recall that in the transition from V4 to  V5 of OS/360 PL/I F, the code 
generation actually got worse. As I recall, this was due to correcting an APAR

Re: ICSF key exchange scenario

2022-01-16 Thread Todd Arnold 
That is a very, very common scenario, and ICSF has API functions (verbs) to 
support it.  Have a look at the Symmetric Key Export and Symmetric Key Import 
verbs (and their enhanced relatives Symmetric Key Export 2 and Symmetric Key 
Import 2).  Doing this, of course, requires you to have some kind of PKI to 
handle certification and distribution of the public keys - and for that, you 
might want to look at the (free) z/OS PKI Services.
 
There are a few things to note.  First, remember that a good rule of 
cryptography is that you should always encrypt a key using a wrapping key of 
equal or greater strength.  If you want to exchange 256-bit AES keys, that is 
not possible using RSA-based key transport - systems simply do not support RSA 
keys of that strength.  (NIST SP 800-57 says you need a 15,360 bit RSA key to 
have strength equivalent to a 256-bit AES key.)  However, most people are OK 
using 4096-bit RSA keys to transport any AES key.

Another thing to remember is that you can directly encrypt (wrap) a symmetric 
key using RSA, but you can't do it with Elliptic Curve (ECC).  With ECC, you 
have to use a key agreement algorithm to establish a shared symmetric 
key-encrypting key (KEK), then use that KEK to encrypt the keys you want to 
exchange with your partner.  (See ICSF verb CSNDEDH, "ECC Diffie-Hellman").  
Elliptic Curve also has a method called ECIES (Elliptic Curve Integrated 
Encryption Scheme) that combines all of this "under the covers" into one 
operation.  However, ECIES has several incompatible variants, and I don't think 
ICSF has built-in support for it.

Re: How to set up a 3270 printer under OS/390?

2022-01-16 Thread Seymour J Metz 
A VTAM application can print directly to an LU1 or LU3 printer. Other 
applications would have to use an intermediate SYSOUT, in which case you would 
need a Functional SubSystem (FSS) that supports your printer. Does the 4224 
support IPDS?

I am aware the 4224 came in a number of configurations. When I got it,
it had a (broken) twinax interface in it, intended for an AS/400. I
found a 3270 coax interface that I put in, which doesn't yield any error

Are you referring to the Asynchronous Emulation Adapter for the 3174? I
am aware it exists, but I don't have one. It adds EIA-232 ports to the
3174.  Probably not applicable in my case anyways, as my 4224 has a 3270

I don't think there is much to do on the 3174 really, at least I haven't

At the moment I do not have enough knowledge about how printing works
under MVS-type operating systems. Assuming a printer connects to VTAM
successfully, then what? How do I 'send' something to a printer? This is
probably described in an IBM document somewhere, but I haven't found

• An error in obtaining the necessary system resources to
process the connect.
Action: Check the diagArea for further diagnostic information.
The toolkit uses many internal services, including sockets, SSL,
and other calls when processing an HTTP API service call. If one
of these internal services fails because of an error in
communications with the targeted server or because of an
internal environmental condition, the error is reported in the
diagnostic area. This information can be useful to the
application programmer but, in many cases, it is for the use of
IBM Support. If one of these errors occurs, clean up the
environment, check for possible communication configuration
problems, and reissue the request

hopefully solved it)?

I am trying to install a certificate into RACF using RACDCERT.
I am using a pfx file that our network guy gave me.
When I run the RACDCERT ADD command, I get a message that says that the

Re: How to set up a 3270 printer under OS/390?

2022-01-16 Thread Attila Fogarasi 
The 42xx printers are dot matrix that were primarily meant to be used by
non-mainframe hosts so they come in a variety of configurations to emulate
asynchronous devices.  You might have one that is not usable with OS/390
without special hardware (there is an adapter card on the 3174 for it, for
example.  You'd have to determine exactly what model of 4224 you have, and
then configure the 3174 appropriately.  I don't think it is a VTAM logmode
issue (yet).  You've picked about the most difficult printer type to use,
might be a lot easier to get a 3287 etc.  The 4224 claim to fame was that
it could handle a high volume of dot matrix multi-part form printing at
high speed.  Unlikely to be useful these days :)
