Hi Charles, 

Almost 10 years old now, but I've always thought this was an xlnt 
presentation... 
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/support/swg/swgdocs.nsf/0/2b7dd92c65e0defe85257a2b0057759b/$FILE/Leveraging_ATTLS.pdf
 

I posted the following about 6mos ago for a similar question. 

- Use z/OSMF for generation of your initial set of PA config files and inputs, 
then consider manually tailoring. I opted for this approach under z/OS 2.2, but 
z/OSMF has undoubtedly improved greatly since then, so maybe you can use z/OSMF 
exclusively now. 

- Configure the syslog daemon, and test it to ensure messages are being 
collected for whatever you're interested in (TCPIP is not a pre-req for 
syslogd) 

- Configure PROFILE.TCPIP, you will need to add a TTLS parm to the TCPCONFIG 
statement

- Create the resource profile used to block access to the TCPIP stack during 
initialization, the name of the resource will be 
EZB.INITSTACK.%sysname.%tcpprocname  (it may be differently named w/ACF2 or 
TSS) 

- Create a server keyring and x509 certificate, and then connect the cert to 
the keyring, and depending on what you're doing you may need to permit access 
so the keyring and cert can be listed (resources are IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING and 
IRR.DIGTCERT.LIST) 

- Once you have done the above and are ready to test: 
Ensure syslogd running
Stop the TCPIP AS (there are undoubtedly less invasive ways) Start the TCPIP AS 
and watch for msg EZZ4248E, after which you should start your PA daemon 
(eventually you'll want to automate this), the start will probably look 
something like... /usr/lpp/tcpip/sbin/pagent -l /tmp/pagent.log -c 
/etc/pagent.conf & 

- Once started, check out the following for messages... 
MVS system log
Pagent log file
Output from the pasearch -t command

HTH, 
Mike

Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Can anyone point me to a SHARE or other presentation or similar tutorial on how 
to get started with Policy Agent and AT-TLS?

I'm already aware, of course, of the material in the IP Configuration Guide.

Thanks,

Charles
