A self-signed certificate *is* a root certificate -- the two terms are essentially synonymous (although they are used with different implications). If the SMTP server is presenting a self-signed certificate then it effectively is its own CA certificate, and you will have to install it in RACF.

"Self-signed certificate" means a certificate that is at the bottom of the chain: there is no higher (mixing my tops and bottoms here) authority that vouches for it. Every CA root certificate is self-signed. (Who else would sign it? The Pope? Bill Gates? Stephen Hawking?) For a normal endpoint

Interesting. Certainly does show that "who do you trust?" is a significant decision. Marking a certificate in RACF as trusted is not just housekeeping; it is a significant security decision. You are not just saying "I need RACF to be able to use this as a CA certificate"; you are saying "this or

Lizette,   Without meaning to 'teach grannies to suck eggs', the index component of a VSAM KSDS contains an 'INDEX SET' and a 'SEQUENCE SET'.   The 'INDEX SET' contains one or more CIs whose records/entries point at 'SEQUENCE SET' CIs.   The records in the 'INDEX SET' are pointers to CAs, i.e. to '
