RE: V7R3 SSL system values and SSLCONFIG settings - is it ok to leave all at default?

Paul,

Getting it to automatically change upon upgrade is the entire point of
*OPSYS for the system value of QSSLCSLCTL.

Let's look at this from another angle. Let's suppose there was a cipher
on 7.1 which was still on 7.2. And, since it's on 7.1 everyone knows it's
unsecure. So you changed QSSLCSLCTL from *OPSYS to *USRDFN. And you
removed that cipher from QSSLCSL. If IBM automatically changed that back
your system would now have that unsecure cipher back in it's list. That's
a security breach.
Again, if you want IBM to change it automatically upon OS upgrade you need
to change QSSLCSLCTL from *USRDFN to *OPSYS.
