IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Set the environment variable when the hub is on a z/OS system
On z/OS, GSKit is known as the Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility, or ICSF. The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server supports secure password encryption through ICSF, which provides a robust encryption and decryption scheme for stored passwords and is the preferred method of password encryption.
If the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is on a z/OS system that does not have ICSF installed, an alternative, less secure encryption scheme is used. The hub monitoring server and the portal server both must be using the same scheme. Therefore, if the hub system does not use ICSF, you must configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to use the less secure scheme (EGG1) as well. This involves editing the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server environment file to add a new line.To add the new line to the environment file, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- On the system where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed, select Start → Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services.
- Right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, point to Advanced and select Edit ENV File from the list.
- If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server message displays, click OK to close it.
- Add a new line: USE_EGG1_FLAG=1.
- Click Save.
- Click Yes to implement your changes and recycle the service.
- Change directory (cd) to install_dir/config
- Add the following line to the cq.ini file: USE_EGG1_FLAG=1
- Save the file.
- Recycle the portal server.
