This article details the PORT statement. CA 7 Server for iDash uses TCP/IP to communicate with other programs. The PORT statement tells the CA 7 Server for iDash address space which ports to use for communication and whether the traffic is encrypted. Multiple PORT statements with varying port numbers and encryption modes can be specified.
Note
: At least one of the port statements must have the NAME of IDASHPORT.
This statement has the following parameters:
  • NAME
    Provides an alias name for the port containing up to 256 characters.
  • NUMBER
    Specifies the port number.
  • ENCR
    Specifies whether to support encryption on the port.
    Default:
     NONE
    The following values are valid:
    • NONE
      Uses no encryption on the port. All data is transmitted in clear text.
    • SSL
      Uses IBM System SSL to encrypt the data that is transmitted on the port.
    • ATTLS
      Indicates that AT-TLS is used to encrypt data that is transmitted on the port. CA 7 Server for iDash is AT-TLS aware and ensures that connections established to ports defined with ENCR(ATTLS) are actually under control of AT-TLS. If not, the connection is closed.
Example: PORT statement
PORT(NAME(IDASHPORT) NUMBER(12001) ENCR(NONE))
PORT(NAME(IDSSECURE1) NUMBER(12002) ENCR(SSL))
PORT(NAME(IDSSECURE2) NUMBER(12003) ENCR(ATTLS))
