Setting Up SSL Authorization File on z/OS

By adding the SSLAUTH DD statement to the platform server startup JCL, you can set up the SSL authorization file to be used with the z/OS platform.

The data set must point to a file containing the SSLAUTH parameters.

On a z/OS system, you can define an SSLAUTH file in the following two ways.
  • If the LRECL of the SSLAUTH file is 80, only columns 1 through 72 are validated.
  • If the LRECL of the SSLAUTH file is not 80, all columns of the input record are validated.
