Local Node Security Feature Definition Worksheet

Record the security feature definitions for the Connect:Direct® Secure Plus local node record on this worksheet. Refer to this worksheet as you configure the local node record. If you plan to use FIPS mode, see Planning for System SSL in FIPS Mode and z/OS V1R11.0 Cryptographic Services System Sockets Layer Programming SC24-5901-08.

Local Node Name:____________________________________________________________________________
