Alternatively for a source which doesn't suffer from a "time allocation", you 
could use what I expect the authors imagine is a comprehensive description of 
(a) what AT-TLS is all about and (b) how to implement it having - quite 
cleverly IMO - used a sample client-server "application" (based on REXX) to 
demonstrate how AT-TLS can support application based on TCP.[1]

Note that I can't vouch for this material because I have used it successfully, 
merely that it exists and *probably* is useful.

I hope you haven't misunderstood what was being said here. the EZARACF member 
is designed to avoid excessive impact on the fingertips keying statements 
related to creating your SAF environment - assuming you had chosen RACF as your 
SAF program, of course.

It is only to be used once you have a very clear idea what your SAF environment 
needs to look like, perhaps having used the sections in the redbook giving 
sample RACF statements as an inspiration.

Do always recall "There is no substitute for *understanding* what you are 
doing."! "Cheat sheets" are to remind you of what you already know - but had 
misplaced for the moment!

Incidentally, once you have got it all working, why not post the "cheat sheet" 
you would like now to be able to use? TCP-IP-based NJE supported by AT-TLS 
looks like it could be a popular combination. Maybe the redbook folk could use 
it as an additional example in the set for the next release.

[1] As I understand it, I'm going to have to read up on all this myself one day 
if only to satisfy my curiosity!
