Description
By default, command requests (Take Action commands, situation actions, workflow policy actions, and so forth) are required to include an encrypted security token. To assist in migration, a security compatibility mode is provided. If compatibility mode is enabled (KMS_SECURITY_COMPATIBILITY_MODE=Y), the monitoring server generates a default security token if the component does not issue one and checking for encrypted command tokens is automatically disabled.
On z/OS®, compatibility mode is enabled by default. If compatibility mode is disabled, Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility encryption must be enabled for the component (monitoring server or monitoring agent) issuing the request.
  • The ICSF started task must be running.
  • The ICSF load library must be concatenated in the RKANMODL DD statement in the started task JCL of the z/OS monitoring server and z/OS monitoring agents.
  • The KAES256 member that contains the encrypted private key must be present in the RKANPARU data set.
