Problem conclusion


    

  • A new ENCRYPTKEY keyword has been added to the RALTER command
to allow a masked PassTicket key to be encrypted and saved into
the ICSF CKDS. ENCRYPTKEY also moves an ICSF key token from the
RACF database to the ICSF CKDS.

A new KEYLABEL keyword has been added to the RDEFINE and RALTER
commands to allow an installation to use PassTickets keys which
are added to the ICSF CKDS outside of RACF. This allows for more
flexible key management of PassTicket keys.

The RLIST command has been updated to provide more detail about
PassTicket keys. If a PassTicket key is saved in the ICSF CKDS,
its label is displayed.

f  for documentation of the new function.  Note the

The RACF administration ISPF panels and TSO help text have not
been updated with these new keywords.
