Chapter 3 Getting Started with Tectia Server for IBM z/OS

Table of Contents

Running the SSH Server (sshd2)

This chapter provides information on how to get started with Tectia Server for IBM z/OS after it has been successfully installed.

It contains information on running the server, the required environment variables, and setting up a shell user.

	Note
	To access a z/OS host that runs Tectia Server using OpenSSH scp you must either have OpenSSH server running on the same z/OS host with Tectia Server, or OpenSSH scp must exist in `/bin/scp` on the z/OS host.

	Note
	If you intend to use OpenSSH scp with Tectia Server for IBM z/OS, note that the default OpenSSH configuration on z/OS does not produce SMF records. SMF recording must be configured separately for OpenSSH when the OpenSSH scp events need to be captured.

The Tectia server component on z/OS consists of two processes:

sshd2: the main Secure Shell server daemon
ssh-certd: the Certificate Validator, a process used by sshd2 when validating user certificates
