Plan Your Implementation of the SSL or TLS Protocol

Edit online

Before you configure Connect:Direct® Secure Plus, review the following concepts, requirements, terms, and tool descriptions to ensure that you have the resources and information necessary to implement the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

For more information on using the TLS protocol and NIST requirements with zOS, see the IBM publication z/OS Cryptographic Services System SSL Programming (SC14-7495-00).

Note: With version 6.4 release, SSL, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 protocols are no longer available for selection. However, the new product release will continue supporting these protocols for existing Connect:Direct Secure Plus Parameter Files.
