Comments
CICS has introduced a new part, DFHSOXC, which will provide the capability for IBM support to supply a simple usermod to reinstate removed ciphers while connected systems are upgraded to use more secure ciphers. In addition, future security APARs requiring CICS to remove support for selected ciphers should be quicker to process and affect fewer parts. This will result in fewer, smaller PTFs that have simpler pre-req chains.
