SSLTCPADMINPORT

Edit online

The SSLTCPADMINPORT option specifies the port address on which the server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions only. The sessions are for the command-line administrative client.

Note: Beginning with IBM® Storage Protect 8.1.2 and Tivoli® Storage Manager 7.1.8, you are no longer required to use the SSLTCPPORT or SSLTCPADMINPORT option to allow SSL-enabled sessions from the client. The port number that is specified in the TCPPORT or TCPADMINPORT option listens for both TCP/IP and SSL-enabled client sessions.
The following types of sessions do not use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol:
  • Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
  • Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)
  • Database restore operations
If the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option is set to NO, SSL-enabled sessions for the administrative client require that different port numbers are set for the SSLTCPADMINPORT and SSLTCPPORT options.
Restrictions:

The following restrictions apply when you specify the SSL-only server ports (SSLTCPPORT and SSLTCPADMINPORT):

  • When you specify the server's SSL-only port for the LLADDRESS on the DEFINE SERVER or UPDATE SERVER command, you must also specify the SSL=YES parameter.
  • When you specify the server's SSL-only port for the client's TCPPORT option, you must also specify YES for the SSL client option.

The TCP/IP communications driver must be enabled with COMMMETHOD TCPIP or COMMMETHOD V6TCPIP.
