I don't speak for IBM, but I read the announcements to say: - z/OS OpenSSH will be a base element in z/OS 2.2, not a separately orderable product. It says that it will initially be the same level as "IBM Ported Tools for z/OS 1.3 - OpenSSH", but IBM also makes a SOD about future enhancements such as support for Kerberos (Windows domain SSO).
To your other question: Co:Z SFTP uses z/OS OpenSSH for its secure SSH2 connection (whether you call it "IBM Ported Tools for z/OS 1.3 - OpenSSH", or whether you call it "z/OS OpenSSH" (a base element of z/OS 2.2). OpenSSH is an application that uses the z/OS TCP/IP stack. IBM did not announce that z/OS Communications Server would include OpenSSH. For more information on z/OS OpenSSH 1.3, see our SHARE presentation from last week: https://share.confex.com/share/124/webprogram/Session16736.html Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 7:15 AM, Dazzo, Matt <[email protected]> wrote: > Just to clarify, does the paragraph below mean that the z/OS TCPIP stack > will support OpenSSH without having ported tools?
