It defiantly does get confusing. I was hoping RSU 0901 would be out and include the CMS SSL code before I undertook the SSL task. No such luck. Still I think it is an improvement over the LINUX approach, especially for non-LINUX shops.

Thats was it. I found the enablement PTFs and installed them. This is a real PITA. From having to figure out that ssl needed to be enabled to finally getting SSLSERV to initialize properly only after storing the database password in a friggin stash file with the right permissions; made for a long day.

I have gone through the TCPIP configuration and certificate database creation of the SSL server but I get the following from SSLSERV when the server is autologged by TCPIP: DTCRUN1022I Console log will be sent to default owner ID: TCPMAINT DTCRUN1011I Server started at 14:14:16 on 10 Mar 2009 (Tuesday) DTCRUN1011I Running server command: VMSSL DTCRUN1011I Parameters in use: DTCRUN1011I keyfile /etc/gskadm/Database.kdb VMSSL program functions are not available 14:14:16 * MSG FROM SSLSERV : VMSSL PROGRAM FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE HCPMFS057I SSLSERV not receiving; disconnected DTCRUN1015I Server ended with RC=8 at 14:14:16 on 10 Mar 2009 (Tuesday) I seem to not be able to find out WHY 'VMSSL program functions are not available'. I can only guess that it might be because we don't have any crypto processors enabled but I am pretty dazed and confused at this point. Any help is appreciated. Tyler Koyl Viterra Inc.
