Why is our Telnet server not using encryption level SSL_AES_256_SHA, even after we defined that level in TELNETPARMS ?

Question & Answer


Question

In our Telnet server profile, we defined the following in the TELNETPARMS section:

Encryption

SSL_AES_256_SHA

EndEncryption

When we display the profile, it does not show this level of encryption as available.

Answer

Encryption level SSL_AES_256_SHA is not part of the base Cipher Suite included with z/OS ServerPac.

To obtain that encryption level you must also order separately product z/OS V1 Security Level 3 5694-A01 01.13.00 FMID JCPT3D1.
