IT03347: CONFIGURING A SERVER FOR SSL COMMUNICATIONS NEEDS TO BE IN THE SERVER DOCUMENTATION

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The following statements from the Tivoli Storage Manager Server
  documentation in the section
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager > Servers > Protecting the server
   > Replicating client node data > Customizing a configuration
   > Managing servers > Configuring a server for SSL
  communications
  
  are no longer correct (as of 6.3.3 and above):
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  -
  If you enable SSL communications and are using the following
  functions, you must create separate source and target
  definitions
  that use TCP/IP for the corresponding server-to-server
  communications:
  
      Enterprise configuration
      Command routing
      Virtual volumes
      LAN-free
  
  If you use SSL with node replication, you must create separate
  server definitions for enterprise configuration, command
  routing,
  virtual volumes, and LAN-free communications.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  -
  
  The Tivoli Storage Manager supports SSL over all server to
  server paths.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  none
  
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
