TPF Client channel does not support SSL

TPF is inquiring if there is any future possibility of adding SSL to our ZMQID DEF parms for our client channels to be defined securely. We
are currently in a project with z/OS MQ and concerns are being raised creating channels without TLS on the client connection. We are getting push back from z/OS MQ support about defining any Client / SVRconns without SSL/TLS defined, which could be a showstopper.

    z/TPF currently supports SSL with both Receiver and Sender Channels for Queue manager to Queue manager communications.

    z/TPF also supports SSL with SVRCONN connections allowing an MQ client to connect to z/TPF using SSL.

    Here is a presentation that discusses the support and setup.
