No, there is no minimum MSU requirement for Host On-Demand installation. Note that running the Host On-Demand Service Manager is technically optional. That's if you use the Deployment Wizard to create an appropriately customized HOD start page, which is my preferred way. The Service Manager is the most demanding part of HOD on the server side, but even that is quite lightweight. If you don't run the Service Manager then the only server side task is HTTP serving, which is extremely lightweight, particularly if you're using the HOD "cached client."
I see little or no point in using HTTPS to deliver HOD to Web clients, so don't bother with that -- stick with HTTP for your HOD Web server. However, TN3270E with TLS/SSL encryption is highly recommended for security reasons, and that's regardless of client. Obviously do take advantage of hardware crypto support there (CPACF and/or CryptoExpress). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: timothy.sipp...@us.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
