Syntax

SSLPKCS12LOC=“file-path”

Syntax Description

“file-path”: specifies the location of the PKCS #12 DER encoding package file that contains the certificate and the private key.

z/OS specifics:If you run in a z/OS operating environment, this file must be in the UNIX file system. The OpenSSL library cannot read MVS data sets.

Details

If the SSLPKCS12LOC= option is specified, the PKCS #12 DER encoding package must contain both the certificate and private key. The SSLCERTLOC= and SSLPVTKEYLOC= options will be ignored.

You must specify both the -SSLPKCS12LOC and the -SSLPKCS12PASS options in the -SASCMD script if you want the spawner to locate the appropriate digital certificate.
