CA XCOM Data Transport employs OpenSSL to use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) while performing secure TCP/IP transfers between platforms running at our r11 and above. OpenSSL has become a common approach to SSL implementation and is used by a number of vendors in addition to CA.
In some CA platform implementations, such as z/OS, UNIX, Linux, and Windows, we use a CA-modified version of OpenSSL that may be employed by other CA products. On these platforms, CA provides and supports the OpenSSL implementation as if it were our own software. However, the installation may appear as a separate step so that you can choose to use another CA-provided OpenSSL implementation that was installed with another CA product.
On other platforms, including HP’s Guardian and OpenVMS and IBM’s System i (formerly AS/400), we utilize the OpenSSL provided and supported by these vendors.
Between these two methodologies, we do not expect CA XCOM Data Transport customers to support their own implementation of OpenSSL or to rely upon the OpenSSL community to do the same. The first line of support is intended to be the vendor, and our licensed customers can contact CA Support with questions or issues with OpenSSL in any CA XCOM Data Transport implementation.
