does ISM CLI 'ismconfig' support TLS 1.2? reference APAR IJ34807

Question & Answer


Question

Does ITCAM for Transactions Internet Services Monitoring agent (ISM, product code 'IS') CLI command ismconfig support TLS 1.2?

Cause

After we reconfigured the ITM v6 TEPS server to use TLS 1.2 only, now the ismconfig.sh script is no longer able to connect to the TEPS, but reports SSL handshake failures.
We have used the following documentation to enforce TLS 1.2 on the TEPS:

Answer

No, ismconfig CLI does not support TLS 1.2 by default. You need to upgrade your ISM agent environment with ISM agent version 7.4.0.3 + IFix1. This issue is addressed by APAR IJ34807.
See ISM agent version 7.4.0.3.1 readme file, when this interim fix 1 for ISM agent is available (ETA end of Q4 2021)
