APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Communications Server for Windows, Version 6.1.3
    ------------------------------------------------
    TN3270 SSL connections can not be established even though the
    SSL configuration is correct.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • If CSWIN is install with "All users" option instead of "classic"
    option, the registry keys in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Communications
    Server\CurrentVersion\Skit are set properly.
    
    Although SSL can be configured, CSWIN TN3270 Server is unable to
    access the SSL certificate key database, brcause the registry
    key is indicating the wrong location.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Install code has been modified to update the registry key
    appropriately for each install type.
    
    Casee 1 : If the installation option is Classic private then the
    values should be:
    KeyringFilename = %SNAROOT%\PRIVATE\ibmcs.kdb
    StashFilename = %SNAROOT%\PRIVATE\ibmcs.sth
    (with %SNAROOT% replaced by the contents of the variable)
    
    Case 2 : If the Installation option is ALL USER then the value
    should be:
    KeyringFilename =  %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\
    IBM\Communications Server\PRIVATE\ibmcs.kdb
    
    StashFilename = %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\IBM\
    Communications Server\PRIVATE\ibmcs.sth
    
    (with %ALLUSERSPROFILE% replaced by the contents of the
    variable)
