Parameters

No: Specifies that the Tivoli® Storage Manager client does not use SSL to encrypt information. No is the default.
Yes: Specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager uses SSL to encrypt information.
To enable SSL, specify ssl yes and change the value of the tcpport option. Changing the value of the tcpport option is generally necessary because the Tivoli Storage Manager server is typically set up to listen for SSL connections on a separate port.
