SSLPVTKEYLOC=“file-path”

Syntax Description

“file-path”

specifies the location of the file that contains the private key that corresponds to the digital certificate that was specified by using the SSLCERTLOC= option.

Details

The SSLPVTKEYLOC= option is required at the server only if the SSLCERTLOC= option is also specified at the server.

The key must be PEM-encoded (base64). Under z/OS, the file must be formatted as ASCII and must reside in a UNIX file system. For more information, see Certificate File Formats.

You must specify both the -SSLCERTLOC option and the -SSLPVTKEYLOC option in the -SASCMD script if you want the spawner to locate the appropriate digital certificate.
