Installation of IBM Global Security Kit

To use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transaction Layer Security (TLS) with IBM® Verify Directory, your computer must contain a supported version of IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit).

You must install GSKit on both the server and client systems to establish and use secure connections.

The GSKit crypt package is required for low-level encryption support. The GSKit SSL package is required for secure communication handshake operations. The GSKit crypt package is a prerequisite for the GSKit SSL package.
