Please read Chapter 5 (Z/OS SERVER FOR THE PC CLIENT) in "XINFO - 4.4 - zOS Installation DB2 Objects and Scanners" manual.

Then configure TCP options in the INI file appropriately.

 

In order to make BIF scripts running, follow these steps:

 

1.with TCPCRYPT < 3

logon files are encrypted using AES key, which requires presence of libchdk-1.dll library. This is no more the default option and using TCPCRYPT=3 is highly recommended.

 

2.with TCPCRYPT = 3

libchdk-1.dll library is not needed (it is not distributed with the latest zip package).

You must create the key using Generate key command on the Home Ribbon bar and store it securely.

You must set CRYPTKEY INI option so that it points to the location of the generated key.

The new logon files must be created. They will now be encrypted with the generated key.
