Abstract: For us mainframe folks Certificates can be like a foreign language, and if you need to delve into Unix System Services to do it this can be almost enough to make you want to retire. This session will look at certificates from a traditional Z perspective. It will show you where they can be used, how to create them in RACF and how to configure Workload Automation on Z to use them. It will also show you how to import certificates into RACF from your distributed counterparts and how to export them from RACF to use on other platforms. Whilst this session focuses on how to use RACF certificates in IZWS it explains the basics of generating certificates in RACF that my be useful elsewhere on Z. Benefits: Attendees will learn: - Where certificates can be deployed in the ZIWS architecture - How to implement SSL entirely in native zOS without having to resort to Unix System Services - How to create, import and export certificates in RACF - How to configure Workload Automation for Z to exploit the certificates
There is currently no attachment for Certificates in RACF for IZWS
