The system and software requirements for using SSL under
z/OS operating environments are as follows:
-
a computer that runs
z/OS.
-
the TCP/IP communications access
method.
-
if you are planning to use a computer
that runs
z/OS as the CA, access to the RACDCERT command on
z/OS.
-
knowledge of your site's security
policy, practices, and technology. The properties of the digital certificates
that you request are based on the security policies that have been
adopted at your site.
Note: The
z/OS version of SSL is
not FIPS 140-2 compliant.
