TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# NODE Definition

By using NODE definition, you can specify the default encryption algorithm for a particular node.

Note: For a particular node, NODE definitions always override any GLOBAL definitions, and are used only when they are not overridden by Transfer Interface definitions.

The format of NODE definition is as follows:

    ENCRYPT={NONE | AES | AES128 | DES | 3DES | BLOWFISH | BLOWFISH_LONG | AES},PASSONLY

ENCRYPT={`NONE` | `AES` | `AES128` | `DES` | `3DES` | `BLOWFISH` | `BLOWFISH_LONG` | `AES`},`PASSONLY`

This parameter specifies the level of encryption that is used by a particular node. The following table lists the description of each parameter option:

Option | Alternate Specification | Description
--- | --- | ---
`NONE` |  | No encryption is used. This is the default setting.
`AES` |  | AES 256-bit encryption is used.
`AES128` |  | AES 128-bit encryption is used.
`DES` |  | DES encryption is used. For more information of DES encryption, see DES Encryption.
`3DES` |  | Triple DES encryption is used.
`BLOWFISH` | `BF` | Blowfish 56-bit encryption is used. For more information of Blowfish encryption, see Blowfish Encryption.
`BLOWFISH_LONG` | `BFL` | Blowfish 448-bit encryption is used.
`AES` | `RJ/AES` | AES 256-bit encryption is used. For more information of AES encryption, see AES Encryption.

When the `PASSONLY` operand is used, only the password is encrypted by using the specified encryption algorithm. The data is not encrypted.

Note: The `PASSONLY` operand is only valid for file transfers between z/OS and z/OS systems.

## Examples Using NODE Definition

The following examples show how to use NODE definition to specify a default encryption algorithm for a particular node.

Example 1:

    ENCRYPT=NONE

The Platform Server encrypts the password by using a proprietary algorithm. Data is not encrypted.

Example 2:

    ENCRYPT=BLOWFISH_LONG or  ENCRYPT=BFL

The Platform Server encrypts the password and data by using Blowfish 56-bit encryption algorithm.

Example 3:

    ENCRYPT=AES

The Platform Server encrypts the password and data using encryption algorithm.
