IC65267: DOC: PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE CONCSM.CFG FILE AS CONCSM.CFG.TXT IN $INFORMIXDIR/ETC

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• You attempt to turn on encryption using ENCCSM. However. the
  process takes much longer than expected because the syntax
  required in the concsm.cfg file is detailed and specific. You
  need an example concsm.cfg as concsm.cfg.txt in
  $INFORMIXDIR/etc.
  
  Suggested contents:
  
  ENCCSM("<$INFORMIXDIR>/lib/csm/iencs11a.so", "cipher[all],
  mac[levels:<high>,files:<builtin>], switch[cipher:120,key:20]")
