SSLTCPPORT

Edit online

The SSLTCPPORT option specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port number for SSL-enabled sessions only. The server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests on this port for SSL-enabled sessions from the client.

Important: 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 SSL:
  • 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 specified for the SSLTCPADMINPORT and SSLTCPPORT options.

If you specify the same port number for the SSLTCPPORT and TCPPORT options, only SSL connections are accepted and TCP/IP connections are disabled for the port.
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.
