How are the PKI certificates configured on the z/VM system?  

Using certificate authority or self-signed certificates?

Did you import the public keys for z/VM using the gskkyman utility of the 
GSKADMIN machine?

Subject: Getting ftps to work

Hi,

I am trying to get the ftps client to work in z/VM 5.4 going to a SLES11 
server. So far, pure-ftpd secures the control channel only. Data channel 
security isn't supported in the SLES11 distribution version, and due to our 
site's aggressive scanning policies, I'm not eager to support a separately 
maintained product. 

The vsftpd server, which does control and data channel encryption, won't 
connect to the VM ftps client at all. SSLSERV displays: DTCSSL022E Handshake 
failed: rc: 410 reason: SSL message format is incorrect
Yet I can connect to the vsftpd server via desktop Filezilla using TLS. VM can 
connect just fine to either server in the clear.      

Has anyone worked with this before, and is there a config setting that I might 
have missed? I'd like to get vsftpd to work, as opposed to installing a 
separate ftp.
