PM72411: In RDz, Host Connect Editor properties displays a certificate store that is no longer used

Rational Developer for System z Refresh Pack 8.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In Rational Developer for System z, the Host Properties tab in
  the Host Connect
  Editor displays a certificate store that is no
  longer used to manage the certificates being used to establish a
  secure connection to the TN3270 server.
  The user interface also allows for import and refresh of the
  certificate store.
  In order to avoid confusion, the User Interface needs to be
  changed to conform with the fact
  that we are now requiring the .p12 certificate file because the
  underlying HABeans had been changed to require it that way.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED: Users who need to define secure connections to a
  TN3270 server using the Host Connect Editor
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Host Properties tab in the Host Connect
  Editor displays a certificate store that is no
  longer used to manage the certificates being used to establish a
  secure connection to the TN3270 server.
  The user interface also allows for import and refresh of the
  certificate store.
  
  Problem Resolution: Host Connect now relies on the use of .p12
  files to manage certificates used to establish secure
  connections to the server; therefore, the references to the
  previously used certificate store information has been removed
  from the Host Properties user interface.
  
  Also, the buttons for importing to and refreshing the display of
  that certificate store have also been removed.
  
  This APAR is being closed FIN with concurrence from the
  submitting customer. This means that a fix to this APAR is
  expected to be delivered from IBM in a release which is being
  developed at the time that the APAR was closed. The latest
  release of the product to exit development at the time this
  APAR was closed was: Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.
  

Problem conclusion
