We are pleased to announce today a new beta release of the Co:Z
Toolkit: 1.5.0-beta1.
This release makes it possible to use your SAF/RACF Keyring to
authenticate a Co:Z SFTP or Co:Z Launcher session. This may be used
as an alternative to a password or SSH private key. The remote SSHD
server does not require any special support: Co:Z adapts the SSL
client certificate and key stored in SAF(RACF) and uses these to sign
client authentication requests. The private key is never removed from
RACF, and may be stored in ICSF. Under the covers, we use the same
System SSL (gsk*) APIs used by the IBM FTP client, so third-party
security products that are compatible with Systems SSL and SAF digital
certificates should work as well.
