Can I create and store an Entrust profile (.epf) on z/OS?
top) Yes. Many Entrust Authority customers requested the ability to create and store an Entrust profile (.epf) onto z/OS. That is the fundamental basis for all other z/OS security solutions. Once the system has been issued an Entrust profile, it is then able to partake in the many Java solutions that are offered through our Security Toolkit for the Java Platform . Also, once your profile has been issued to the mainframe system, it will benefit from the full management capabilities of Entrust’s PKI solution. PKI management capabilities like certificate revocation checking, key backup, key rollover and key recovery will be automatically applied to the profile. No additional key management facility is needed on the z/OS system once an .epf has been issued. Management takes place within the Entrust Authority environment.
