Alan, Not to disagree with you but... this is from the TCPIP admin book chapter 22 for the SSLADMIN STORE command.
label is the label to be associated with this CA certificate in the certificate database. This label can be any unique string up to 200 characters. It cannot begin or end with a blank, but it may contain imbedded blanks. It is case-sensitive. It looks like a label can be 200 characters long... -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 8:41 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Coding the port statement in the TCPIP profile.

Again, labels are not 60 characters long - they are 8 characters. When you did an SSLADMIN REQUEST you specified an 8-character label. You can see it when you display the contents of the database via SSLADMIN QUERY. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
