TCP/IP for VM Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Server
Configuration Information and Requirements

z/VM Level 540

With z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0 (540), the SSL server is implemented as a CMS-based server for which the key database is maintained in the z/VM Byte File System (BFS), and which is managed via a stand-alone utility program, gskkyman.

  • If you are using z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0 (540), refer to the Configuration Information and Requirements for z/VM 540 for information about how to install and configure the SSL server for your environment.

    Note
    Coincident with the change in implementation of the z/VM 540 SSL server, the (Linux-only) vmsock module and its program source are no longer provided with z/VM.

z/VM Level 530

Before the TCP/IP for VM Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server can be utilized, a Linux for S/390 kernel and file system must be installed and configured for exclusive use by the SSL server virtual machine.
