Hi, MArk.
I stand corrected, OSA ICC does not support SSL.....I thought I saw some
SSL configuration parameters on the OSA ICC configuration screen, but
the OSA ICC doc doesn't mention SSL at all. I may be confusing it with
the network support for connecting to the HMC instead....
As you get older, the experts say you begin to loose two
facilities....the first is memory and I forget what the second is.....:-)

Dave,
When I configured OSA Express2 ICC on our z9 BC in January 2007 I didn't
see any indication that SSL was supported. Did I miss something, or did
something change since then? If you could send me a documentation or
Redbook reference I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi, Alan.
See if your shop has installed and supports the OSA ICC feature. It's
a no charge feature (that's goodness....:-) that allows for TN3270
clients (PCOMM, Vista, etc.) to attach directly to the OSA card and
appear to CP as locally attached 3270s. The VM TCP/IP stack is not
involved at all and need not even be up and running. The OSA ICC also
supports TN3270 connections over SSL, so you can still encrypt your
TN3270 traffic, even if the SSLSERV on VM is down. You can have your
cake and eat it too, at least in this situation.
Have a good one.
