Can Secure+ be made any simpler?

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out Secure+ screens.  Is there any way they could add more help to PF1?

How will this idea be used?

As a C:D Admin for multiple platforms, I find the CDUNIX and CDWINDOWS Secure+ administration so much easier.

    Thank you for your patience as we worked on this request. I'm pleased to say that we have made significant improvements in the user experience for C:D z/OS over the last two releases.

    In v6.0 we introduced REST APIs that would allow you to make configuration changes such as Secure+ in a standard way across z/OS, Windows, and UNIX. In v6.1 we also expanded support for our new C:D Web Console GUI so that it supports all of those platforms as well. We believe that this should give you a much better option to maintain Secure+ and other configurations in a consistently manner across platforms. I would encourage you to explore the newer releases as I expect they'll likely make it easier to maintain these systems.


    Sincerely,

    Chris Sanders

    Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM.  I have reviewed it with my team and we believe that it is possible to improve the Secure+ setup steps for C:D z/OS.  I have accepted this request as an uncommitted candidate and will work to move it to the roadmap moving into the future.  

    If you would like some assistance or guidance with PF1 in the interim I would suggest opening a PMR with our support team however.  There is quite a lot of detailed help content included on that screen and they may be able to add some clarity until an enhanced experience can be delivered.


    Sincerely,
