Deprecated and discontinued server options, commands, and parameters

Some server options, commands, and parameters are deprecated or no longer available, beginning with Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.8 and IBM Spectrum Protect™ Version 8.1.2. The behavior of some parameters and options has changed.

Due to security protocol changes, the following updates were made in the product:
  • Two SSL-related parameters, VALIDATEPROTOCOL and SSLREQUIRED, are deprecated and ignored. These parameters are replaced by the SESSIONSECURITY parameter.
  • Four SSL-related server options, USETLS12, SSLTLS12, SSLHIDELEGACY, and SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS, are no longer available.
  • The behavior of the SSL parameter on the DEFINE SERVER and UPDATE SERVER commands changed. SSL is now used to encrypt some communication with the server even if you specify SSL=NO.
  • The behavior of the TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT options changed. The port number that is specified in the TCPPORT or TCPADMINPORT option now listens for and accepts both TCP/IP and SSL-enabled sessions. You are no longer required to specify the SSLTCPPORT or SSLTCPADMINPORT option to allow SSL-enabled sessions from the client.
  • The SET AUTHENTICATION, SET REGISTRATION, DELETE KEYRING, QUERY SSLKEYRINGPW, and SET SSLKEYRINGPW commands are no longer available.
