Syntax

SSLPKCS12LOC=“file-path

Syntax Description

“file-path”

specifies the location of the PKCS #12 DER encoding package file that contains the certificate and the private key.

z/OS specifics If you run in a z/OS operating environment, this file must be in the UNIX file system. The OpenSSL library cannot read MVS data sets.

Details

If the SSLPKCS12LOC= option is specified, the PKCS #12 DER encoding package must contain both the certificate and private key. The SSLCERTLOC= and SSLPVTKEYLOC= options are ignored.
You must specify both the -SSLPKCS12LOC option and the -SSLPKCS12PASS option in the -SASCMD script if you want the spawner to locate the appropriate digital certificate.
